NOCO Hair Wins Best Independent Newcomer in the UK
We’re so proud to share that NOCO Hair has been named Independent Newcomer of the Year at HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards 2019.
Based on Whiteladies Road in Clifton, our Bristol salon launched in 2018 with a simple mission: to create an inspiring space for both clients and stylists. Just one year later, we were honoured on a national stage for turning that vision into a reality.
The award celebrates entrepreneurs who have successfully launched a salon within the last two years, recognising excellence in business planning, client retention, and growth. Out of entries from all over the country, we were selected for our strong foundations, creative marketing, and team-first culture.
We were thrilled to receive the award live in London — and even more excited to be presented the trophy by Vernon Kayhimself!
“We’ve asked a lot of questions, listened, learned, and shaped something that really works for us — and most importantly, for our team,” said Corey. “This award is a celebration of them and everyone who’s supported us along the way.”
Jayne Lewis-Orr, Executive Director of the awards, shared:
“Corey and Noel have crafted an incredible business with individuality, strong structure, and real entrepreneurial spirit. They are fantastic ambassadors for the industry.”
We’re beyond grateful to be part of this vibrant industry, and this recognition only strengthens our commitment to raising standards and supporting others to grow — one great haircut at a time.
