Wowzers. What a weekend it's been! Here at Salon Geek HQ we've only just got our breath back from a super successful and bonkers busy Professional Beauty 2012.
Sunday night saw the Professional Beauty Awards 2012 take place at the Hilton on Park Lane. The industry's finest gathered together to eat, drink and recognise the best of the best in beauty.
After a last minute re-shuffle, Jimmy Carr was replaced as compere by the fab Rufus Hound. Rude, irreverent and very funny, he presented the awards and kicked off the party. It was a pleasure to see those in the industry recognised and, of course, it was only right and proper that we celebrated until the wee small hours!
For a full list of winners, see below.
Until then...geek on!
