P&G Salon Professional Managing Director, UK & Ireland, Daniel Minney said of the event: “The Trend Vision Award continues to evolve and push the boundaries of hairdressing talent around the world. It is inspiring to see so much passion and creativity in one room and every individual who has reached the final should be very proud of their achievements. On behalf of Wella Professionals, I would like to wish the Gold Winners the best of luck as they make their mark at the International Final in New York.”

The Wella Professionals Trend Vision Award is now in its 9th year. The event is organised by the best in the business as a way of encouraging creativity and promoting talent specifically in the colour sector of hairdressing.

Colourists are briefed with 4 different trends in which they must use their favourite to interpret a look that reflects this trend.
