Kao Salon Division UK is pleased to announce this year’s national winners of the prestigious Global Creative Awards 2023.
Held at The Menier Lounge in Southwark London, the gold, silver and bronze winners were unveiled to an audience of salon guests and industry VIPs from the UK and Ireland.
Julie Winchester, Kao Salon Division UK and Ireland General Manager, and Irene Meikle, Director of Education, hosted the event. Finalists and guests were welcomed to the intimate gathering where there was a stunning showcase featuring the finalists’ hair creations.
Reaching the finals of the Global Creative Awards is a prestigious accolade, with stylists first challenged to create their vision through a photograph, followed by recreating it in the international live competition.
