The Spanish Creative Hairdressing Awards reaffirm their status as a benchmark in our country, with a total of 177 submitted nominations from 81 different firms. International participation has also increased, with 37 collections, and the new category of Spanish Student of the Year has made a grand debut with 28 nominations.
The Fígaro Awards are preparing for one of their most competitive and exciting galas, thanks to the huge participation recorded in this 14th edition, which is one of the top three in its history. In total, 177 entries were submitted by 81 different firms, an increase of 30.88% compared to the previous edition.
The category with the highest participation once again is the Women's Commercial Collection with 53 collections submitted, 10 more than in 2022. It is followed by the International Category with 37 collections, 13 more than the previous year, which consolidates this competition as one of the most prestigious in the industry worldwide.
The debut of the new category, Spanish Student of the Year, has also been notable. It seeks to highlight the work of Spanish training centers and the effort they put into preparing the future talents of hairdressing. 28 applicants from across Spain have participated, from whom 10 pre-nominees have been selected.
The remaining entries are divided as follows: 24 in the Men's Commercial Collection, 18 in the Avant-Garde Collection, 9 in the Newcomer of the Year category and 8 in the Spanish Hairdresser of the Year category, the main category of the competition in which it is only possible to enter with one pre-nomination. It is worth mentioning that all the finalist collections will also participate in the Fígaro Catwalk category, which recognises the overall staging.

The Club
The objective pursued by Club FÍGARO is recognition, both professionally and socially; thus raising our profession to the category of excellence, just as sectors such as fashion or gastronomy did at the time. Our mission is aimed at making our work known, admired and respected, both in the national and international territory, thus consolidating an increasingly cosmopolitan and powerful industry.
The Contest
The Spanish Hairdressing Awards, also called Fígaro Awards, value the photographic works of the hairdressing creations of the participating firms, to reward the most outstanding creative hairdressers in the country. They consist of five categories and were established in 2009 to give notoriety and visibility to the artistic work of Spanish hairdressers. The basic objective pursued by Club Fígaro with the creation of these awards is the social and professional recognition of hairdressing in Spain to consolidate an industry that is increasingly cosmopolitan and powerful.
Participating hairdressers register online to participate and upload their photographic collections to the Club Fígaro website. Afterward, the professional jury, made up of prominent personalities from national and international hairdressing and which changes every year, individually and independently votes the collections submitted anonymously, so impartiality is guaranteed.
Club Fígaro has the support of its main sponsor, Revlon Professional, a firm that has sponsored the Awards since its inception.
