Wella international trendvision wows at salon international

For the first time ever, the iconic Wella International TrendVision was held at Salon International yesterday in a true celebration of hair colour and creative styling. Salon International ticket holders were able to watch as the 82 looks from 44 different countries were created in the HJ Live Competition Area before the Trendvision main ceremony began. In a celebration of Britishness we were treated to epic shows from a host of talented British hairdressers and salons such as hob, Sanrizz, Robert Eaton and Marc Antoni. The shows referenced true britishness from a host of eras; from the 70s mullet to grungy punk rock. And of course it wouldn't be a true representation of Great Britain without a hint to our weather - with faux rain falling and umbrellas at the ready! Andreas Kurkowitz, the new Global Colour Ambassador for Wella Professionals then presented the trends for SS18 which focussed on 'nontouring' and gender fluid colour placement. The awards section started with the acknowledgement of a colour legend. With over 50 years in the business working with greats like Vidal Sassoon and forging the career path of the colourist, Annie Humpreys received the Wella TrendVision Lifetime Achievement Award. On her win, she said; "I helped bring colour to where it is today... it's been an amazing journey and Wella especially has been there all the way." The ever effervescent Patrick Cameron then kicked off the TrendVision Awards with the parade of nations before the awards were announced. There where two double awards for the first time in the awards history. See the results below...
