The industry’s longest running live competition, L’Oréal Colour Trophy platforms the very best in hairdressing talent, honouring exceptional artistry, skill and creative vision both locally and abroad.
Back for another year of colour, creativity and good old fashioned competition, L’Oréal Colour Trophy will again host a roster of key hair talent, special guests and members of the brand’s salon network for a series of regional semi-final events… culminating in one epic national finale.
Ahead next year’s anticipated finals circuit, L’Oréal Professionnel have today revealed a line-up of talented semi-finalists (across the state and rising star categories respectively) each of whose looks were first examined by a team of international judges.
Entrants were scored for their exhibition of technical mastery as well as their ability to produce a unique and original look that showcases current trends while considering consumer appeal and wearability.
Each semi-finalist will next flock to their allotted region for a series of regional finals; recreating their looks for a panel of industry professionals (stay tuned for the full judge’s list).
Taking place across five spectacular days (and five cities respectively!) each event will see L’Oréal Professionnel’s esteemed artist network gather for an evening of creative celebration, with each finalist progressing through to the national event in 2020.
Get excited… we know we are!
