VARIS - An Official Sponsor In The Hairnews Industry Awards 2026

Hairnews is thrilled to announce that VARIS Professional Tools is coming on board as one of our official sponsors of the Hairnews Industry Awards 2026.

We are incredibly excited to welcome VARIS to this year’s awards and to have the brand supporting our celebration of the creativity, talent, technical skill and passion that continue to drive South Africa’s professional hair industry forward.

Tools Created Around Creative Energy

VARIS is a professional styling tool brand created with one thing firmly in mind - the stylist.

Part of the Kao Salon Division, VARIS describes stylists as artists, craftsmen, psychologists and visionaries, and its tools are designed around the creativity and technical demands of the professional behind the chair.

That philosophy makes VARIS a fantastic fit for the Hairnews Industry Awards, where we celebrate the very same creativity, artistry and technical ability that make professional hairdressing such an exciting industry.

VARIS tools incorporate Hydroionic Crystal technology, combining negative ions and far-infrared energy to support faster drying and help leave hair looking conditioned and shiny. The technology features throughout the VARIS collection, alongside ergonomic details designed with professional stylists in mind.

VARIS was introduced to South African stylists through Kao South Africa / Kao Salon Division, bringing its range of professional tools and brushes to the local market.

The 2026 Hairnews Awards Prize Packages

As one of our official awards sponsors, VARIS is providing an exceptional lineup of premium professional styling tools for this year’s Gold, Silver and Bronze winners in each category.

Featuring a versatile multi-barrel design, digital temperature control and constant heat technology, the VARIS Curling System allows stylists to create endless texture variations - from loose waves to defined curls - with maximum shine and minimal thermal stress.

Silver Winner Package: VARIS Smoother

Engineered with ceramic plates infused with hydro-ionic crystals, this high-performance flat iron helps seal the cuticle, eliminate frizz and create a smooth, glass-like finish in a single pass.

We are proud to have VARIS join our growing group of official Hairnews Industry Awards sponsors, each helping us make the 2026 awards a special celebration of the people, brands and businesses that contribute to our incredible professional hair industry.
