The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2025 Shortlist


by Holly O'Neill
29th Sep 2025

There’s only one IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards. It’s ABBA-solutely unmissable, and it's officially time to cast your vote for the 2025 nominees!

Mamma Mia, here we go again! Now in its 11th year, these are the most credible, prestigious, and talked-about awards in Ireland’s beauty, hair, and aesthetics industry. There is simply nothing else like them. If you know, you know.

This year, we’re going full ABBA-glam, so grab your glitter, tease that hair and polish those platforms. From “Dancing Queen” to “Super Trouper,” we want big sparkles, big style, and bigger vibes as we throw it back to the ultimate pop era.

The winners will take it all on Sunday, November 23, at 6pm in The Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, hosted, as always, by IMAGE’s very own Melanie Morris and glam king Darren Kennedy.

You can vote once a day until voting closes on Monday, November 3, for your favourite practitioners, places, people and brands from our 2025 shortlist ahead of the celebrations on November 23. But now, it’s time to see who you’ll take a chance on. Without further ado, allow us to introduce the shortlist for The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2025!
