About the Submitter

Please enter your own (the entry submitter's) details below. These may be different from the entrants primary contact information


STOP!

It looks like you’re registering a salon property that operates on its own. If your business actually runs two or more locations, you’ll want to enter the Larger Salon of the Year category instead.


If you’re not sure whether you have more than one property, please save your application, verify your locations, and then return here to continue. That way you can be confident you’ve chosen the right category before submitting.


If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch, we’re here to help!
