Australian Beauty Industry Awards 2023 Finalists
OHMYBROW have been announced as a finalist in the AIBA Beauty Industry Awards 2030
The best in beauty has been announced as Mocha Group have revealed the finalists in a myriad of categories for the Australian Beauty Industry Awards 2023. Honouring the hair industry’s sister sector, the awards are in the same portfolio of both the Creative and Business iterations of the Australian Hair Industry Awards, as well as the Australian Modern Barber Awards.

This year, more than 300 entries broke the entry record, showcasing the platform’s industry stature. The evening will also elect the new members of the Beauty Squad, which is a program to foster next generation talent.
“2023 has certainly far exceeded our expectations as far as entries with a record number of high-quality submissions testament to the strength of our industry,” said Mocha Group’s Linda Woodhead. “As always Australia’s clinical beauty and make-up experts are operating at a global standard and we are thrilled to honour their innovation and skill. Our industry and over 200 finalists’ local communities should be so proud of all their achievements.”
The entries were judged by 40 industry icons, with sponsors for the platform also including TAFE NSW, Naked Tan, Dermapen World, TADLI, Circadia, Gay Wardle Skin Institute, Exceed, Timely, Global Beauty Group, Dermalogica, Dermaviduals, Shortcuts, Inskincosmedics, Beauty Biz, Kitomba, Beauty Pro by Dateline, Dermaplaning Australia, Sustainable Salons, Comfortel, Beauty Expo Australia, Biodroga, Ellebanna, Professional Beauty Solution, Your Coach, Mayerling Skincare and Australian Dermal Science Institute.
