Last Saturday, we came together for one of the most anticipated dates in the calendar, our annual Academy Salons Awards evening.
Hosted at the stunning The Lookout at Sandown Park, the setting couldn’t have been more perfect. With panoramic views and an electric atmosphere, it set the tone for a night dedicated to celebrating the very best of our people, our industry, and everything Academy stands for.
We were honoured to be joined by incredible guests from across the professional hair world, including key figures from L’Oréal and Kérastase, alongside other respected names within the industry. Their presence not only elevated the evening, but reinforced the strength and connection within our professional community.
Our Creative Team, led by Vinnie, also introduced a short catwalk moment with two models, highlighting the artistry and creative direction within Academy Salons, Well done girls!
Every stylist, every team member, every individual in the room embodied what Academy is all about. The standard of presentation was exceptional, but more than that, it was the energy in the room, thegenuine support, the celebration of each other’s achievements, and the shared pride, that made the evening so special.
From the flowing drinks to the incredible food, every detail contributed to an unforgettable experience. But beyond the setting and the celebration, the night was a reminder of what truly defines our industry: creativity, connection, and people.
Because at the heart of Academy Salons is our team.
Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us.We are so proud of you all, and we can’t wait to see what 2026 holds.
