WS Hair Pro Salon Collective celebrates another major national achievement as WS Studios Hair Professionals is recognised at the National Beauty Awards UK & Ireland 2026.
London, United Kingdom — July 2026 WS Studios Hair Professionals, part of the WS Hair Pro Salon Collective, has been named National Best Colour Salon 2026 at the National Beauty Awards UK & Ireland. The prestigious national accolade recognises the salon’s exceptional standards in professional hair colouring, technical excellence and commitment to delivering luxury client experiences.
The award represents a significant milestone for the London-based salon collective, reflecting almost a decade of dedication to elevating professional hair colour through innovation, education and uncompromising craftsmanship.
The National Best Colour Salon 2026 title reflects not only the standard of work delivered within the salon, but also the collective’s wider commitment to advancing the profession through education. At the heart of this mission is the WS Balayage Academy – Leaders in Balayage, an educational platform founded by Walter Stojash that provides free professional resources, original colour techniques, advanced balayage education and trend analysis for hairstylists worldwide.
Colour artistry has become one of the defining pillars of the WS Hair Pro Salon Collective. From seamless balayage and lived-in blondes to dimensional brunettes, luxury blonding, colour corrections and high-gloss finishes, the collective continually studies international colour trends while adapting every service to the individuality, lifestyle and long-term health of each client’s hair.
Beyond the salon, the collective continues to share its expertise through the WS Hair Pro editorial platform, where professional articles explore emerging colour movements, advanced colouring techniques, luxury hair care, consultation strategies and the future of modern hair artistry. This commitment to education reflects the same philosophy that underpins the award-winning work delivered daily across its London salons.
Walter Stojash on the Achievement
Walter Stojash, Founder and Creative Director of the WS Hair Pro Salon Collective, said:
“Receiving the National Best Colour Salon 2026 award is an incredibly proud moment for our entire team. This recognition is the culmination of almost a decade of relentless dedication, continuous learning and an unwavering commitment to our clients and our craft.
For nearly ten years, we have worked tirelessly to refine our techniques, invest in education and push the boundaries of professional hair colour. Every consultation, every transformation and every member of our team has contributed to this achievement.
I have always believed that exceptional colour is not created by following trends alone. It is created through understanding the individual, respecting the integrity of the hair and never compromising on quality. To receive national recognition from the National Beauty Awards UK & Ireland is deeply rewarding.
This award belongs not only to our talented team, but also to every client who has trusted us throughout our journey. We remain committed to raising standards within our profession, sharing knowledge through the WS Balayage Academy and continuing to innovate for many years to come.”
