You know that look you finished, stepped back from and thought, “I’m proud of that”? Enter it.

The Hairnews Industry Awards are celebrating the work South African hairdressers do behind the chair, and Salon Centric is proud to sponsor the Ladies’ and Gents’ Best Signature Look categories. We are sponsoring first, second and third place in each category.

We’ve chosen prizes we’d love to see winners use at work, including JAGUAR Gold line scissors, a Fade X clipper, brushes and combs. But first, we want to see your craft.

Entry is free, and the deadline is Friday 9 October 2026. Send your entry to belinda@hairnews.co.za and read the category brief on the Hairnews website before submitting.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to put your work forward, this is it. I can’t wait to see what you create.

AREA 133 - 2026!

Blow back to THIS; last week with @benbrownhair @tammy__berman @floneacsu & @fabmacchia

The format? No format.
Four chairs on stage at once, live models and open interaction from the crowd.
Lights, music, drinks, and creative inspiration with a side of questions flowing all night.

It was epic! Thank you to all who came and shared with us.

See you next year!

BEN BROWN (International Cutting Master)
Ben’s teaching is rooted in theory, aiming to remove guesswork from haircutting. His goal is simple: to empower stylists with the skills and knowledge to cut hair with confidence and precision.

TAMMY (from our very own scar)
Tammy Berman is renowned for luxury hair transformations and editorial-inspired styling. She has worked with international artists, leading names in the music industry, and international television productions.

FLO (of Excentric on Kloof in CT)
Flo is a 2-time winner of the Wella Trend Vision Award South Africa. But his greatest achievement isn’t the trophies. It’s the multiple learners he’s transformed into successful stylists in his salons.
His biggest passion is making complex cutting principles easy to understand.

FABIO (of Shag High Voltage in PE and Sanctuary)

Fabio has spent more than 25 years behind the chair and as co-owner of SHAG High Voltage Hair since 2012, his philosophy is simple: think twice, cut once. Fabio is also a Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) Artist, trained in New York, and has completed advanced barber education with Menspire Academy. His accolades include Barber of the Year, Trend Vision Winner, and Trend Vision People’s Choice Award.

Life is busy. We work, raise families, build businesses, look after people and somehow still want to feel good while doing it.

Sanctuary isn’t about perfection. It’s about the shampoo you reach for every morning. The product that makes life easier. The cap you throw on. The fragrance that becomes part of your identity. Small things that become part of the way we live.
We believe products should earn their place in your life. They should perform, feel beautiful, be simple to understand and have a reason to exist.

Area 133 was such a good reminder of why I love this industry. The cuts, the music and the conversations between people who care about this amazing industry made it a night I was glad to be part of.

Thank you to Scar Education for having Salon Centric there, and to everyone who came over to explore the tools and chat with me. I appreciate it more than you know. @scarpro____

A special thank you to Lachelle, who helped me set everything up and supports me through all the work that happens before an event like this. I genuinely couldn’t do it without her. ❤️ @lachelle_isforhair

Here’s a little look back at the night. ✂️
