NOCO Shortlisted at BHBA 2025

NOCO Named Finalists for Educator of the Year at the British Hairdressing Business Awards 2025

We’re beyond proud to share that NOCO Hair has been named a finalist for Educator of the Year at this year’s British Hairdressing Business Awards, hosted by HJ.

Out of salons from across the UK, we’re one of just six to make the shortlist in a category that celebrates real commitment to education, skill development, and inspiring the next generation of stylists.

This recognition means the world to us. Education has always been at the heart of everything we do – not just for our clients, but for our team too. We’ve spent years building a culture where learning never stops, support is part of the job, and every stylist is encouraged to become the best version of themselves.

“To be recognised on a national stage like this is huge for us,” said Noel Halligan, co-founder of NOCO Hair. “Our team works so hard to create an environment where people can truly grow, and this feels like a celebration of that vision.”

Backed by our training academy, partnerships with L’Oréal and GHD, and our internal development programme, we’re proud to have created a space where stylists thrive — whether they’re just starting out or stepping into leadership roles.

The British Hairdressing Business Awards are now in their 27th year, shining a spotlight on the people and teams pushing the industry forward through creativity, professionalism, and resilience. The winners will be announced on Monday 7th July at the Royal Lancaster in London — and we’ll be there in our best outfits, cheering on everyone in the room!

Thank you to our team, our clients, and our partners for being part of this journey. We’re just getting started. 🌟
