L'oreal colour trophy lands in london for penultimate show

The L'Oreal Colour Trophy landed in London for the penultimate night of the event's regional tour, with six talented hairdressing teams securing their place for the grand final. Shortlisted stylists had just 30 minutes to recreate their look in front of a prestigious panel of judges including Guy Kremer, Mark Trinder from Charles Worthington, Matthew Sutcliffe from Westrow and Angel Montague-Sayers from Sally Montague. Before the finalists were announced, guests were treated to a fun pre-show experience with selfie booth, mini makeovers and product demonstrations. Celebrity presenter Layla Anna-Lee then took to the stage to introduce an inspiring catwalk show by Tina Farey and the L'Oreal ID Artists. Taking the themes of Art and Restraint, the two shows presented contrasting looks for Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter. Art celebrated texture, with fun voluminous shapes and pastel hues, while Restraint was all about strict structure, braids and dark, glossy polish. With the crowd suitably inspired, it was time to see the finalists' work in their own catwalk presentation, with models representing both the Men's Image and Colour Trophy awards. Red and purple were the dominant hues for the London region, with interpretations ranging from a lilac crop to immaculate tumbling auburn curls. For guys, long haired remained a trend with fringes also a popular feature. Show over, it was time to announce the evening's winners who will now go on to represent the London region at the grand final. Jamie Stevens London, Trevor Sorbie Hampstead, Sinead Kelly London and Trevor Sorbie Covent Garden finalised for the L'Oréal Colour Trophy, while Headquarters Hair Salon Kingston-Upon-Thames and Trevor Sorbie Covent Garden made it through to the L’Oréal Professionnel Men’s Image award.
