Wella TrendVision UK & I Final Winners announced!

Watch the highlights and read on for everything that happened at Wella TrendVision 2019!

We hit The Roundhouse in Camden this week for an epic evening in honour of the Wella Professionals Uk and Ireland TrendVision Award 2019 Final. The event was hosted by TV favourite Vernon Kay and hairdressing legend Patrick Cameron and showcased some of our nations most impressive hairdressing talent. More than 800 guests gathered for a drinks reception followed by a sit down dinner and three stunning hair shows by some of the worlds greatest hair artists.

This began with a completely bespoke show by the legendry Sassoon Academy team. Celebrating 65 years of Sassoon, ‘Monoflouro’ was curated especially for this event and focussed on mono tones infused with pure pigmentations – all inspired by the work of Bauhaus master Josef Albers. Looks celebrated the enduring legacy of the Sassoon geometric method – fused with incredible styling.

Guests were also wowed by an incredible show aptly named Collaborate that celebrated the diversity of beauty and the colour spectrum, using the iconic Wella portfolio of colour. This once in a lifetime show pulled together some of the greatest artists in British hairdressing today. Akin Konizi, HOB Academy; Charlie Taylor, from Charlie Taylor; Darren Ambrose, D&J Ambrose; Darren Lacken, Crow Street Collective; Dom Capel, Lara Johnson Lifestyle; Josh Goldsworthy, Goldsworthys and Leonardo Rizzo & Sharon Cox from Sanrizz all showcased models, which together created an electrifing rainbow finish.

The final show was delivered by Wella’s Technical Director, Robert Eaton, who presented ‘Celestial’. This hugely memorable show included strong and powerful silhouettes with incredible colour innovation. Futuristic hair, textures and shapes featured heavily, with embellishment that wowed the audience. The result was a mesmerising eclectic show that demonstrated Robert Eaton’s hairdressing talent at its finest.

Next it was time for the winners to be announced.
