The (virtual) IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2020: And the winners are…
29th Nov 2020
The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2020 has just drawn to a close, and although this year was quite different than before, what a night it was.
While we had to come together, apart, to celebrate the IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2020, we did so in style this evening with a brilliant virtual awards, powered by Dyson, sponsored by ASAP Skincare, Alfaparf Milano, Kerry Hanaphy and Platinum Hair Extensions, and in association with Gotcha Covered.
Darren Kennedy and Paul Ryder joined IMAGE contributing editor Melanie Morris for an evening high on energy and entertainment, during which we presented awards in 26 categories.
So, who were the winners of Ireland’s Hair and Beauty Oscars for 2020? Back in the first quarter of the year, we had over half a million votes as readers of IMAGE and IMAGE.ie got behind their favourite creatives and professionals. It was neck-and-neck in every category!
So, without further ado, let’s get to the winners for 2020. Congratulations to everyone – nominees and winners alike. We know it has been a challenging year and we can’t wait to see you all in 2021 for next years awards, hopefully in person, glammed up to the nines with cocktails in hand.
