The Seanhanna awards returned for 2023 and celebrated a special anniversary, some 40 years in the hairdressing industry, where guests enjoyed impressive hair shows from its creative team tooâŚ

There was also a very special anniversary to celebrate, itâs been 40 years, (42 in fact, due to Covid delays), since Sean Hanna, now managing director of the group, decided that accounting wasnât his thing and hairdressing was. The rest, as they say, is history.
As the audience took their seats at FIRE, a striking subterranean London venue with exposed brickwork aplenty, it wasnât the awards ceremony that started off the night, but a striking set of visuals that detailed the Seanhanna story through over 40 years of British hair trends, politics, fashion, and pop-culture. From shots of Thatcher to the buzz around the millennium and beyond, we all took the legacy in. Seanhannaâs certainly seen it allâŚ
