Salon Business was created with a clear mission: to champion the professionals behind the UK and global hair industry and help salon owners build stronger, more profitable businesses through a dedicated monthly B2B magazine.
What began as a platform for sharing industry insight has evolved into a trusted authority for education, inspiration and commercial growth, spanning print, digital, social and live events.
Led by female entrepreneur Joanne Charlton since 2011, Salon Business has continually evolved alongside the industry. A major milestone came with the launch of the Salon Business Awards in 2013, now one of the sector’s most respected accolades. Established to celebrate excellence, innovation and leadership with a focus on networking, the awards shine a spotlight on the salons, teams and individuals raising standards and shaping the future of the industry.
Since 2021, Salon Business has placed sustainability and digital marketing at the heart of its strategy, while continuing to produce a high-quality printed magazine three times a year.
Today, Salon Business sits at the heart of the industry. Through expert-led editorial, trend forecasting, business insight, digital content, live events and awards, we connect salon owners with the ideas, tools and partners they need to thrive.
We believe in:
Run by an experienced founder who has built and scaled successful media and events platforms, Salon Business remains fiercely independent, insight-led and proudly industry-first.
Whether you’re starting out, scaling up or redefining success, Salon Business is here to support you because when salons succeed, the entire industry moves forward.
