This year the awards have split into four chapters due to the deep talent pool of excellent and talented professionals in Ireland. Chapter 1 will spotlight the salons and individuals that operate across the province of Leinster. The winners will be announced at the prestigious awards ceremony that will take place on 12th October at the Park View Hotel.
Now in their 8th year, the awards aim to showcase the best hair salons, stylists, barbershops, extensions specialists, and bridal experts amongst others in Ireland that exhibit excellence and professionalism in their craft.
Oceanic Awards finalists are selected in a few different ways. There is no fee and anyone can enter as long they fit the criteria of the awards including being operational for a minimum of 12 months.
Nominations opened to the public via online platforms and social media, allowing customers and communities to put forward the establishments they love most. Many finalists run their own successful campaigns to rally support, proof of the strong
community ties behind these businesses.
Alongside these public submissions, the team at Oceanic Awards draw on their industry knowledge to directly recognise standout businesses and individuals who exemplify excellence in their field.
Voting will remain open until one week prior to the event.
