Wella Professionals, the world’s No.1 salon colour brand*, has once again shone a spotlight on the artistry and innovation of Australia and New Zealand’s leading hair talent, with the 2025 TrendVision Awards celebrating creativity, individuality, and technical mastery.

Now in its 23rd year, the annual competition has become an industry institution – a digital showcase of professional hairdressing at its most inspired. This year’s theme, Surreal Colour, challenged stylists to explore the meeting point between technology and human creativity, drawing inspiration from the rise of AI and the irreplaceable touch of the hairdresser.

“TrendVision is more than a competition; it’s a celebration of creativity, individuality, and the incredible craft of our hairdressing community across Australia and New Zealand,” said Rekishia Jessup, General Manager, South Asia and Pacific. “At Wella Professionals, hairdressers are truly at the heart of everything we do. Education runs through our veins… And let me tell you, the future is bright!”

Ludmila Hlinovsky, Wella Creative and Community Leader AU & NZ, added: “I really love the Surreal trend so much! AI is integrated into all parts of our daily life… With the unique touch of a hairdresser, we evolve this Surreal trend into real life art.”
