Magazine London on the Greenwich Peninsula was once again the fantastic London venue of The Wella Professionals TrendVision Award 2023 UK & Ireland Final.
The unmistakable London skyline formed an exhilarating backdrop to one of UK & Ireland’s most anticipated events – Wella Professionals TrendVision Award 2023 UK & Ireland. It was a true celebration of the very best of our homegrown hairdressing talent and expertise.
The night also presented The Little Princess Trust – a charity that gives hair and hope to children with cancer, that Wella proudly supports.
The live event saw finalists compete in their given category over two days. This culminated in a winners showcase of the final looks. There was also a live stream of the event for those that couldn’t join in person.
The TVA 2023 journey began earlier in the year with online photographic entry and culminated with the live final in London. This year’s TrendVision Award Final demonstrated the vast capabilities of the Wella Professionals colour portfolio, with some truly iconic looks being created, displaying exceptional craftsmanship. The night was filled with inspirational looks, limitless energy as well as great support for the finalists.
The Shows
The outstanding lineup of show artists included Cheynes, Cobella, Francesco Hair Salons, Hob Academy, Lara Johnson Lifestyle, Nikki Clifford from NJUK, Simon Tuckwell and Stil. Each show was uniquely creative, also showcasing the Wella colour portfolio in its finest light.
Patrick Cameron and Fergal Doyle hosted the night, while radio presenter, Elspeth Pierce, delivered the Virtual Broadcast, where fans tuned in from around the world to experience the hairdressing magic. The night was also attended by The Little Princess Trust – a charity that gives hair and hope to children with cancer, that Wella proudly supports.
