MORE than 150 entries were received this year for The Look Awards 2018 which celebrate Scotland’s hair, beauty and aesthetics talents.
The list of finalists has now been drawn up for the awards which are sponsored by City of Glasgow College, The Scottish Hair and Beauty Show, Remi Cachet, The Great British Barbering Academy and Fake Bake.
The judges were on the lookout for the top hair stylists, makeup artists, salons, spas and clinics and selected finalists across 20 categories.
This year, the hair categories will be live judged at The Scottish Hair and Beauty Show on our very own Look Awards stage on Sunday, April 22 at the SEC, Glasgow.
City of Glasgow College is sponsoring two categories this year, the Hair Stylist of the Year Award and the Best Start Up Award.
Elspeth McCallum, Industry Academy Curriculum Head said: "City of Glasgow College would like to say a huge congratulations to all of the finalists this year and wish them all the very best of luck on the night.
"The standard has been fantastic and it will be very difficult to choose a winner from the amazing talent chosen. You should all be very proud to be finalists. Well done."
Remi Cachet is sponsoring the Hair Extension Specialist Award and its founder, Victoria Lynch, said: “Well done to all the entrants, we loved looking through your work and the talent here in Scotland. With a special interest on the Hair Extension Award we were keen to look at the detail of the entry, the application work as well as the finished look and we cannot wait for the grand final now."

Gary Hackett, Show Director, said: “Congratulations to all of the finalists for this year’s Look Awards. Myself and the Scottish Hair & Beauty show team are looking forward to celebrating with you all on Sunday 22nd April at the Awards Ceremony.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
