ABOUT

Creative HEAD’s It List Awards

Exclusively sponsored by ghd, Creative HEAD’s It List awards catapult into the spotlight Britain and Ireland’s most exciting new hair talents. We’re talking the best young business-builders, style-makers, hard grafters, and game-changers – the names who’ve been setting the barbering, session styling and salon spheres on fire, and all aged 30 or under.

There are six categories to choose from, representing a range of hairdressing disciplines – there’s even a title for professionals at the very start of their hairdressing career.  

Entries are judged by experts working in hair, fashion, business, and the media – for example, leading names in salon and session, editors from the likes of 10 Magazine, marie claire and The Telegraph, and talent scouts from international agencies including Art + Commerce and The Wall Group. And you know what? Your work deserves it.

If you make it through judging, not only will you join hundreds of ultra-stylist guests at the Most Wanted and It List Grand Final in London, but you could also really get the chance to shine, winning an It List trophy, a generous gift from ghd and year in the Creative HEAD spotlight.

It’s free to enter the It List, and your career could sky-rocket as a result.
