The two competitions - to find the Style Innovator who could create a high fashion look from the New York catwalk, and a Colour Genius who could best interpret the theme Metallic Glam - were interspersed with inspiring seminars from Redken guest artists Lee Stafford, Amanda Dicker, Martyn Gale, Ashley Gaunt, Kelly Scott and Chris Moody.
After an initial round of moodboard judging, the five finalists in each category were given the chance to complete their looks on stage and try to impress the esteemed judging panel, which included Jonny Engstrom from Guy Kremer, Jason Welch from eleven salon and Mike Saunders from Yellow Strawberry.
