Who Can Enter the Island Glow Awards

The Island Glow Awards is proudly open to professionals across the South Coast of England — not just one town, not just one county, but a whole coastline of talent

We welcome entries from:

• The Isle of Wight
• Kent
• East Sussex
• West Sussex
• Hampshire
• Dorset
• Devon
• Cornwall

As well as surrounding South Coast areas and neighbouring towns within these counties. From coastal salons to city studios, from home-based beauty rooms to high-end aesthetic clinics — IGA exists to recognise the dedication, standards and creativity thriving across our region.

If you are based anywhere along the South Coast and work within the hair, beauty or aesthetics industry, this is for you.

We welcome:

• Hair stylists and colour specialists
• Barbers
• Nail technicians
• Beauty therapists
• Lash and brow artists
• Aesthetic practitioners
• Holistic therapists
• Educators and academy owners
• Salon owners 
• Apprentices and newly qualified professionals
• Rising new talent ready to step into the spotlight

Whether you operate from a busy high street salon, a boutique studio, a mobile business, or an academy — your work deserves recognition.

The South Coast is filled with exceptional talent, innovation and passion. By opening IGA beyond the Island, we are building a stronger industry community — one that connects professionals across counties, raises standards collectively and creates wider opportunities for growth, exposure and collaboration.

IGA is not just an awards night.

It is a platform.

It is a movement.

It is a celebration of excellence across the South Coast.

If you are proud of your work and ready to stand alongside some of the region’s finest — this is your moment.
