The ABS Global Image Awards celebrates the passion and artistry of professional and emerging stylists in an image and video competition that features professional and student categories.

This year’s competition yielded entries from across the globe to enter their fiercest collections through image and video storytelling.

“Entering the Global Image Awards allows stylists and students to embrace their creativity, build confidence and shoot for the moon,” says Karen Gordon, past president of Cosmetologists Chicago. “The styles and looks we see from this competition are a representation of what’s trending around the world and what’s next in beauty. Congratulations to all the finalists who entered this year!”

This incredible international competition is driven by intense creativity and passion by hairdressers, colorists, salon teams, nail technicians, makeup artists, students and teams. It culminates to a huge 100th America’s Beauty Show celebration and presentation during ABS on the evening of Saturday, April 15.

All ABS attendees and the public are invited to the Cosmetologists Chicago Presidents Reception and cocktail party, which leads into the ABS Global Image Awards on Saturday, April 15, 2023. All are invited and welcome to join the celebration, and it is free to attend. Astoria Stubbs is one of the finalists in the Professional Texture Expert category of the ABS Global Image Awards.Astoria Stubbs is one of the finalists in the Professional Texture Expert category of the ABS Global Image Awards.Courtesy of Astoria Stubbs (@ms_stori)

The night also features live music by Too Hype Crew, where you’ll party to anthems of the 80s, 90s and early 00s with an all live six-piece band, MC’s and “Fly Girl” dancers. The night is the signature ABS What’s Next 100th anniversary celebration to come as you are, see and be seen. 

The ABS Global Image Awards were anonymously judged by an esteemed panel of industry experts, media, educators and elite artists. Each professional category will offer a single winner an impressive award from America’s Beauty Show to display with pride.
