WELCOME TO THE FELLOWSHIP LUNCHEON & HAIR AWARDS 2023 The Fellowship is proud to present our Awards categories for 2023. We’d like to invite you to take part in the biggest and best independent awards event in the industry. This year we have introduced a new SPOTLIGHT Award which is split into two categories. The over 25’s and under 25’s.  Its aim is to find the next generation of talent and stars of the future. 

Taking part in all our Awards, has never been easier, just visit our online Awards Platform and submit your entries. All our award winners will be celebrated at our Luncheon & Hair Awards taking place again at the Londoner in Leicester Square, on Monday 4th December. 

Our Luncheon and Hair Awards are the official start to the Christmas celebrations for all ambitious hairdressers and without doubt, the hottest ticket in town, an experience not to be missed. Walk down the red carpet and rub shoulders with the coolest new talent, who’ll be mixing it up and networking with our iconic legends in one of the five sumptuous bars of the hotel. Come and celebrate the evolution of the Fellowship as we continue to shape the future of hairdressing.  We look forward to seeing you all there.
