The Nails Brows Lashes Awards, affectionately known as The NBL Awards, are an exclusive celebration of those who take care of our Nails, Brows and Lashes; three features that are integral part of our appearance.
The sole aim of the awards is to recognise chic and elegant salons with superstar crew of professionals that provide bespoke experiences to their clients, following the latest trends and techniques.
Formerly the English NBL Awards, theses awards have been rebranded to the Nation's NBL Awards in order to spotlight the continued growth of the industry over the last few years.
These awards were held as part of an online campaign with the winners being announced on Friday the 16th of May.
Irfan Younis, Spokesperson for the Nation’s NBL Awards said: “We are excited about the rebrand of these awards as it allows us to spotlight a wider pool of talent.
These Awards are an excellent opportunity to showcase those who have shown great commitment, professionalism, creativity and care for the client. We understand that there are some amazing specialists out there, who often don’t get the recognition they deserve.
We want to congratulate all of our winners on their incredible accomplishments.”
