Wella Professionals TrendVision Award 2025 is now open. The iconic hair competition is renowned as one of the greatest opportunities for up and coming talent to shine and is the perfect platform for artists to showcase their creativity and skills.
Wella Professionals is perfectly placed to be hosting one of the world’s greatest hair competitions, with more than 140 years of hairdressing expertise and the bold status as being the No. 1 Salon Color Brand in the World¹, this is one competition that can help all hairdressers catapult their career.
Max Amen, General Manager UK & Ireland, Wella Company, says: “Wella TrendVision Award offers competitors an opportunity to go on a creative journey that is truly unique. I encourage anyone considering entering to give it 100% and embrace this opportunity of self-development. The UK & Ireland Final is an exceptional celebratory event that recognises the incredible array of hairdressing talent in the Wella family.”
The competition is open to anyone living or working in the UK or Ireland who is working in a salon or as an independent stylist. You don’t need to be a Wella Professionals account. The exception being the XPOSURE Creative Colour category, which is exclusive to hairdressing students.
