Back for another illustrious year, Aveda’s National Colour Harmony Awards saw a bevy of guests flock to Melbourne’s Albert Park to honour the brand’s extended talent network.

The theme for 2018? ‘Know what you’re made of’: a celebration of the brand’s newest campaign and a staggering 40 years in business.

Entrants were tasked with creating their interpretations of Aveda’s latest branding, capturing the brand’s authenticity and relevance in today’s world of beauty whilst demonstrating a successful synergy between hair cut, colour, styling and makeup.

Prizes included a return trip to Minneapolis for  Aveda’s 2018 Global Congress, an editorial shoot and feature plus a selection of tailored kits and tools worth between $1-2,000.
