Celebrate Local Talent: The Search for Bolton's Best Hairdresser 2026 Begins!

The Bolton News is once again calling on the community to recognize the remarkable talents of local hairdressers with the launch of its Best Hairdresser competition. Nominations are now open, providing an opportunity for residents to highlight their favorite salons and stylists who go above and beyond to leave them looking and feeling their best.

A Fond Farewell to Last Year's Champion

In 2025, Thomas Herbert on Wigan Road, Westhoughton, claimed the prestigious title of Bolton's Best Hairdresser. The success of last year's competition has inspired The Bolton News to continue this initiative, encouraging readers to share their experiences and recommend the hairdressers that have made a significant impact on their lives.

How to Nominate Your Favorite

Residents of Bolton are invited to nominate their preferred salons or hairdressers, whether they are well-established businesses or hidden gems in the community. Simply provide the name of the hairdresser or salon, their location, and a brief description of why you believe they deserve the title of Best Hairdresser 2026. Nominations can be made easily through a quick survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/BNBEST or by scanning the provided QR code.

Recognizing Local Excellence

This competition not only highlights individual talent but also aims to celebrate local businesses as a whole. With the voting period set to commence on February 17th and run until March 1st, the community will have the chance to showcase support for their favorite hair professionals. The top 10 nominees will be featured in The Bolton News, giving them the recognition they deserve.

As the competition unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting local businesses that contribute to the community's vibrancy. The Bolton News encourages everyone to participate in this celebration of excellence and to give a shout-out to those unsung heroes behind the salon chairs.
