Sunday 9th October saw the winners of the illustrious Australian Hair Industry Awards 2022- Business named at a beautiful gala awards evening on the Gold Coast. East Fremantle’s George & Ivy Hairdressing were named the best in the state as they took out one of the big awards of the night- AHIA State Salon of the Year WA/NT 2022. Launched in 2011 by esteemed trade visionary Linda Woodhead and the Mocha Group team, the AHIA’s- Business are renowned as the definitive awards program of business excellence for Australia’s leading hairdressers, salons, specialist businesses, educators and professional products.
Located in the back streets of East Fremantle, George & Ivy Hairdressing has become more than just a place for a great haircut, colour or style, it’s a community centre of sorts. Renowned for their dedication to sustainability, Owners Paul and Cat are leading the way within the industry. The stunning building was created from 80% recycled materials including reclaimed bricks, steel, and timber. The welcoming interiors have been designed using vintage and reclaimed furniture including the well-loved Chesterfield lounges. They also installed solar panels to reduce power usage by 60% and are officially partnered with Carbon Neutral Australia, making them proudly carbon negative. There is even 10% off for all clients who walk or ride to the salon! Add that to their use of only certified organic hair care, and this innovative team have truly discovered the secret to merging sustainability and style with ease.
These accolades come as a welcome reprieve after challenging years with salons and hairdressers ready to look ahead and celebrate their achievements with one another. Held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, over 600 guests enjoyed a night of dinner, drinks and dancing. The highlight of the evening was the vibrant and action-packed dance and laser performance created and produced by the incredible multi-hyphenate Adam Williams. The stunning show brought burlesque into the now, drawing inspiration from the resurgence of Club-Kid culture, the heritage of Harlem Ballroom and the vivacious volume of authentic vogue.
