The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2024 Shortlist


By Holly O'Neill
20th Sep 2024
The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2024 Shortlist

The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards, Ireland’s biggest, glittery-est, most stylish, adrenaline-charged awards is back! It’s officially time to cast your vote for the 2024 nominees – drumroll please…

Now in our tenth year, The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2024 will take place on Sunday, November 24, as once again, we’ll set The Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road alight with colour, creativity and a night to remember.

This year, we’re going back to the days of disco with our theme, so there’ll be no such thing as overdressed, overhyped or overstyled – think funky flares, disco balls, Saturday night fever (on a Sunday!) and lots of sequins in a Studio 54 setting. As always, the night will be hosted by IMAGE’s own Melanie Morris, and our favourite disco inferno, Darren Kennedy!

The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards is Ireland’s Hair and Beauty Oscars, and this year, we have the widest range of categories yet, recognising the best in the land. There’ll be awards, glitter balls, prizes, surprises, entertainment, cocktails, an after party in House on Leeson Street and, of course, the famous IMAGE Business of Beauty gift bags, laden with treats for everyone to take home.

Voting closes on Friday, November 1, so over the next few weeks, you have the chance to vote for your favourite practitioners, places, people and brands from our 2024 shortlist ahead of the celebrations on November 24. Without further ado, allow us to introduce the shortlist for The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2024…
