Celebrating Independent Excellence in Aesthetics, Beauty & Hair


The Aureum Awards UK were created to champion the individuality and innovation of independent businesses across the aesthetics, beauty, hair, and wellness sectors and are not focussed on Social Media Numbers!

​

We believe success isn’t measured by scale, budgets, or online followings, but by artistry, professionalism, and impact. Whether you’re a solo practitioner, a small team, or a boutique salon, the Aureum Awards UK provide a fair platform where your work and story are celebrated without being overshadowed by industry giants.

Before applying, please review the entry requirements to ensure your submission highlights your best work.

JUDGING

At the AUREUM AWARDS UK, we deeply value the time, effort, and dedication that each entrant puts into their submission. Every application is carefully reviewed by our independent judging panel, and we are committed to a fair and transparent process.

​

Please note that all judging decisions are final. Once winners are announced, results will not be altered under any circumstances.

 

We kindly ask all entrants to respect this policy. Any attempt to challenge, dispute, or argue the outcome post-event will not influence the final results and places unnecessary pressure on our team. Such actions can delay essential post-awards processes including:

  • Certificate creation and distribution

  • Trophy dispatch

  • Finalist communications and press coverage

​

To ensure a smooth experience for all involved, we appreciate your understanding and professionalism.

​

Thank you for supporting a respectful and celebratory awards environment.
We are proud to recognise the passion, talent, and excellence of every entrant.

What Judges Are Looking For
Our judging panel is interested in entries that feel personal, passionate, and professional. We encourage you to speak from the heart about your journey, your ethos, and your commitment to excellence.
✔️ Tell your story
✔️ Showcase your impact
✔️ Share your standards

 
How Entries Are Judged

  • Judging is based solely on your application — not your social media following or online profile.

  • Each entry is reviewed in direct comparison with others in your chosen category.

  • Your submission should reflect care, clarity, and credibility.
     

Even without a large digital presence, a well-written, thoughtful entry can truly stand out.
