Rest assured that in regard to the 2020 ABIA’s we are FULL STEAM AHEAD! All published dates that relate to the ABIA’s remain in place with the only date that could potentially change in the future being the actual Gala Night on 23rd August 2020.

The team at Mocha Publishing have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation over recent days.

Our priority is to ensure the safety, health and well-being of the members of our Hair and Beauty community through our events and awards.
