L'oréal colour trophy grand finalists for 2018 are revealed
The L'Oréal Colour Trophy competition has toured the country over the past few weeks with hairdressers from different regions competing to go through to the grand final, which will be held on 4 June 2018. The 10 teams are given 30 minutes to create their fashion-inspired and flawless winning look to impress the group of judges. 
At each regional semi-final of the L’Oréal Colour Trophy, six teams are announced on the night. Two of these teams are guaranteed to compete at the grand final and four will go through to the shortlisted judging stage, which runs after the semi-finals. All salons through to the shortlisted judging stage will be judged collectively online after the semi-finals by a panel of judges. The judges will select their top 16 from the 32 in the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Category regardless of region and these 16 salons will compete at the grand final.
