Shock Consult Sponsors ‘Salon of the Year, Classic’ at Kitomba Business Awards

July 27, 2012 - PRLog -- From the Desk of Malcolm Gibbons, Managing Director, Shock Consult Ltd.

I’m thrilled to announce that Shock Consult is the sponsor of the prestigious award, ‘Salon of the Year, Classic’ at the Kitomba/NZARH/HITO Business Awards where winners will be announced at the Wellington Town Hall on Sunday 11th November 2012.

The Kitomba NZARH Business Awards are an annual event that recognizes top performing salons in New Zealand and is sponsored by industry leaders. The Business Awards are part of the Industry Awards weekend in collaborating with HITO (Hairdressing Industry Training Organisation). As a prize, Shock Consult will be awarding a prize package of Business coaching worth $1600.


Once again Kitomba/NZARH/HITO and sponsors are holding the 2012 Awards in Wellington and this year they take us back to the era of the Art Deco Movement. The Awards will take place in the elegant auditorium of the Old Wellington Town Hall. This venue will make a stunning backdrop to the Art Deco theme of the awards and it is hoped that guests all take advantage of the theme to dress in the style of the time – Finger waves are De Rigueur

“As the managing director of Shock Consult I am thrilled to be sponsoring the award as it recognises and rewards achievement, excellence and innovation in the Hair industry and celebrates the culmination of hard work and dedication to business success of not only those winning salon owners but all who participate.”

The Shock Consult ‘Salon of the Year: Classic’ winner is selected from entrants with turnover between $500,000-750,000. This category is results driven so judges weigh up performance figures relating to: Chemical services, Profitability, Rebooking, Retail sales, Treatment, Utilization & Wage %.

A panel of independent judges will individually review each entry, rating them on each performance section and submitting scores to the convener for collating, meaning that even the judges won’t know who the winners are until on awards night.

If you are interested in entering these exciting awards (Shock Consult Ltd ‘Salon of the Year, Classic’ category, or one of the other awards) you can visit http://www.nzhairdressingawards.co.nz/register.php to register.

Best of luck to all the entrants and we’re looking forward to the Big Night in Wellington on the 11th November.
