New Zealand’s Mana Dave (Blaze) and Kylie Hayes (Moha Hairdressing) have taken out Platinum at the 2017 Wella International Trend Vision Awards.
Monday 16th October saw Wella Professional’s Global contingency flock to London for this year’s Wella International Trend Vision Awards. For the first time in Wella history, two New Zealand delegates have taken out Platinum in both the Colour and Creative Vision categories respectively, beating out 83 finalists from around the world.
Collecting the Colour Vision Platinum Award for 2017 was none other than Blaze’s own Mana Dave, while Kylie Hayes of Moha Hairdressing took out the esteemed Platinum title in the Creative Vision Category. The win marks the first instance of one country scoring multiple platinum titles at an International level.

“This is an absolutely incredible result for New Zealand and Australian hairdressers and we couldn’t be prouder of Kylie Hayes and Mana Dave winning Platinum Awards” said Gina Thomas, Director of Education for Wella ANZ, “To win Platinum in both Colour Vison and Creative Vision categories on the world stage has never been achieved before and is testament to the creativity of our talent. We encourage all hairdressers in Australia and New Zealand to register to Wella’s Education platform to relive the magic of the night and discover the 2018 Trends.”
