Celebrating Success! Meet ALL OMC Hairworld 2017 Winners & Finalists!

Always a monumental event, the 2017 OMC Hairworld in Paris offered a fascinating live competition of global hairdressing in terms of amazing creativity, technical skill and true artistry.

Oh la la, the City of Lights! Paris was the host of the world hairdressing olympics, the 2017 OMC Hairworld Competition, and welcomed guests with glorious displays of their culture through romantic lights, lace, silk and the faithful representation of French beauty resulting in a triumphant weekend for the industry.

True artistry dominated the stage in a craft where hair is the medium used to create sculptures too grandiose for words. Watch our videos here and also here!

The competition demanded several practical trials giving us a grand number of talent to watch in real time. This means that the competitions honored hairdressers from more than one country for their skill alone, embodying a true emblem of the industry’s love of celebration of the craft.

This celebration could not have
 been more successful, enticing over 1,100 attendees from 50 nations who dared to compete on the opulent Parisian stage. Talent was overflowing as competitors stood next to their creations with pride, and of course, there was no limit to how breathtaking these looks could be. Outstanding styles lean more towards the unexpected while emphasizing the editorial beauty of current trends.

Present throughout the competition
 was Salvatore Fodera, OMC World President,
 and Christophe Gabreau, President of MCB by Beauté Sélection, host of the OMC Hairworld not only in 2017 but also for the next three years! Both Fodera and Gabreau observed a successful year with their sponsors, which included some major names: Wella Professionals, L’Oréal Professionnel, Takara Belmont, MCB by Beauté Sélection (Platinum Sponsors); plus Pivot Point International, Vitality’s, Silkey, Raphael Perrier… among other Gold Sponsors.


Saturday night was the Reception of the Nations Cocktail Party also known as OMC Global Award Night, where industry leaders were honored for their contribution to the hairdressing profession. Amongst the top global awards given in this ceremony is Best Magazine Award, which was graciously handed by OMC World President Salvatore Fodera to Estetica’s Sergi Bancells, General Manager of Estetica USA, Spain & Latin America, who received the beautiful trophy in representation of the 22 international editions worldwide of the Estetica International Network.

Other OMC Hairworld recognitions included Lifetime Achievement Awards to Italian maestro Gigi Gandini and North American hair icon Ann Bray, as well Sponsor Awards to Wella Professionals, L’Oréal Professionnel and Takara Belmont, among others.
