Still time to enter Bolton News’ Best Hairdresser 2026 competition

If so, The Bolton News wants to hear from you! Our Best Hairdresser competition is underway, and nominations are now open.

Following a fantastic response to last year’s competition, we are once more asking readers to shout about the salons and stylists who leave them looking and feeling their best.

A good hairdresser is more than just a stylist; over the years, they become a good friend and a confidante as well as, of course, helping you feel a million quid.

Our search for Bolton’s Best Hairdresser 2026 forms part of our series to shine a light and celebrate local businesses with your help.

Now it is time to decide who should follow in their footsteps. Whether your favourite salon is a long‑established fixture on the high street or a hidden gem you are desperate to tell the world about, we want your nominations.

You can put forward any hairdresser or salon you believe deserves the title as long as they are based in Bolton.

Tell us who they are, where they are based and why they should be named The Bolton News‘ Best Hairdresser 2026.

Simply head to www.surveymonkey.com/r/BNBEST or scan the QR code.

Once the week-long voting period closes, we will unveil the top 10 who will be featured in the paper each day.

Voting slips will be in the newspaper from Monday, February 17, until Saturday, March 1.
