Announcing the 2020 SALONS OF THE YEAR Finalists

With all the troubling news out there, SALON TODAY is excited to bring something gorgeous to distract you for a moment, bring a smile to your face, and get your imagination pumping on your next great salon. Take a moment and take a virtual tour of our 20 finalists for the 2020 SALONS OF THE YEAR.

Launched originally in our sister publication MODERN SALON more than 40 years ago, SALONS OF THE YEAR is a salon design competition that invites owners who have opened a new salon or renovated an existing one in the past two years to submit professionally shot images of the finished salon and tell us about their design choices. 

Each entry is judged in phases by the editorial team at SALON TODAY and MODERN SALON, who pick the finalists, the grand prize winner and the runners up.

Each will be featured in the May/June 2020 issue of SALON TODAY, in the digital edition, as well as in individual stories on the website. In the coming weeks, we will announce the runners-up and the Grand Prize Winner, who will grace the cover of the May/June issue.
