Seanhanna went big for 40th anniversary awards

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 too…

There was also a very special anniversary to celebrate, it’s been 40 years, (42 in fact, due to Covid delays), since Sean Hanna, now managing director of the group, decided that accounting wasn’t 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 wasn’t 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. Seanhanna’s certainly seen it all…

Then it was time to crown the winners of 2023, here they are…
