Wella Professionals brought their most buzzed about annual event to Barcelona with wondrous colors, enthralling styles and a thriving ambition to win! The 2016 International Trend Vision Awards (ITVA) Award Ceremony was a fascinating ending to the show that unites the global passion of hairdressing.
The 80 stylists and colorists from 45 countries took to the stage to compete for victory in the Color Vision and Creative Vision Categories, inspired by the 2016 Trend Vision beauty trends.
The ceremony, hosted by the one and only Patrick Cameron, was broadcasted live from Barcelona and viewers world wide were able to log into www.wella.com/live to view the show and support their favorites from the celebration of the industry’s most acclaimed talent that was recognized at the 2016 International Trend Vision Awards (ITVA).

Also, Sylvie Moreau, President of Coty Professional Beauty, and Michelle Mason, Senior VP Global Education & Professional Development, presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to legendary hairstylist Robert Lobetta for inspiring a whole generation of hairdressers.
ITVA 2016 presented an expert panel of judges, which included Wella Professionals’ Global Creative Directors Josh Wood (Color) and Eugene Souleiman (Styling), media representatives as well as other top international stylists.
