It's a global hair event that's fast gaining a reputation synonymous with all things glamour. The 2020 International Hairdressing Awards, held in Madrid tonight, was a glittering and memorable occasion which showcased the very best of the hairdressing craft.

The Redken Artist Connection Worldwide –or RAC, as all the attending seasoned stylists say–, was nothing short of spectacular. As an industry leader in innovation and education, it’s no surprise that RAC 2020 was bigger and better than ever.

Holidays are SLAMMIN’ in the salon and at the same time, salon guests are looking for even more attention in the form of styles to impress at holiday parties.

The International Hairdressing Awards announced that Sam Villa will receive this brand-new award, by his impact and influence in the world of social media and his positive influence in the industry. The 2020 International Hairdressing Awards will take place on February 16th 2020 in Madrid (Spain).
