Wella professionals trendvision finalists announced

The Wella Professionals TrendVision Award UK Regional Heats have been taking place across the UK and some of Britain’s most talented stylists have now been chosen to compete at the UK & Ireland Final in October 2016. From hundreds of entries 144 entrants were selected to present at the UK Regional Heats and now only 40 finalists will go on to fight to win the chance to represent the UK at the TrendVision Award UK & Ireland Final in 2016. Entrants were required to submit a photographic entry in either the Color Vision or, new for 2016, the Creative Vision category. Once chosen at the photographic heat they then competed in the four-date tour in Edinburgh, Manchester, Nottingham and London and finally it will reach Ireland on 28 August 2016. The competitors were judged by panels of  industry experts including Daniel Couch, Russell Eaton; Joseph Ferraro, Halo; Linda Stewart, Rainbow Room; Bruno Marc, Marc Antoni; and Leslie Hunter at Frances Hunter Hairdressing. Providing a chance for salon teams to go along and cheer on the finalists, the UK and Ireland Regional Heats were also an ideal opportunity to be inspired with the latest looks from some of the industry’s biggest names. The UK heats saw Bruce Masefield and Edward Darley of Sassoon Academy showcase their new Kidhood Collection. Paul Adamczuk and Danny Dowie from Cheynes Hairdressing presented their latest collection while Jon Wilsdon, Toni & Guy; Luke Benson, D&J Ambrose; Amelia Evans, HOB Salons; Peter Burkill, HOB Academy; and Altin Ismaili, Marc Antoni formed A Fusion of Creative Talent to present the Autumn/Winter Trends for 2016. All those fortunate enough to make it through to the UK and Ireland TrendVision Award Final will be hoping they will wow the judges for a chance to represent the UK and Ireland at the International TrendVision Award in Barcelona in November   The Winners were announced for the UK as: Color Vision Anthony Holland - Benjamin Rose Ronnie Logue – Blue Hairdressing Dannie Lea – Dannie Lea Hair & Beauty Emma Baxter - David Harvey Laura Curran - Caldow Salon Elizabeth Austin - Francesco Group Beverley Perrott - Hair@ 1618 Natalie Garcia Sanz – Halo Hair & Beauty Steven Sanderson - Howarth Hairdressing Leona Provence Gillon - Medusa Stephen Guest - Regis Sunny Wan - Regis Chiara Del Giudice - Sanrizz Naomi Francis - Scissors Sandy Campbell - Smith-s Hair Room Rebecca Mooney  - Star Salon Laura Aldworth – Taylor Taylor Hairdressing Johnny Campbell - The Retreat Hayley Austin - TONI&GUY Helen Porter - Volt Salon   Creative Vision Lisa Candy - Antoniou Hair and Beauty Sarah Potter - Boyds Hair Design Courtney Telford – David Graham Hairdressing Hollie Swinden - Francesco Group James Earnshaw – Francesco Group Academy Elaine Sneddon – Halo Hair & Beauty Conor McLaughlin - HOB Salons Paul Paterson - Ishi Salon Jessica Neil - KH Hair Peter Mellon - Medusa Jordan Robertson - Medusa Toni Tatlow - p.kai hair Jamie Richards – Richards Hairdressing Rudi Rizzo - Sanrizz Amy Sultan - Scissors Jenna Barr - Sophie Butler Hairdressing Wendy Long - Stone Sarah Law – Terence Paul Hairdressing Rachel Wigle – Watermelon Studio Zoe Harrison - Wonderland Hair & Beauty   The Wella Professionals TrendVision Award UK & Ireland Final will take place on Monday 10th October at The Roundhouse in London’s Camden.
