A Night of Icons, Innovation, and Inspiration: Wella Professionals Crown the UK & Ireland TrendVision Award 2025 Winners at the Natural History Museum.
London’s legendary Natural History Museum was transformed into a dazzling stage of creativity and celebration as Wella Professionals hosted the UK & Ireland TrendVision Award 2025 Final- a night that will go down in hairdressing history.
With more than 520 guests filling the iconic Hintze Hall, the atmosphere was electric as finalists, industry legends, and salon stars came together to honour the very best in hair artistry. From the grandeur of the venue to the glamour of the guests, every detail reflected the prestige of Wella’s most anticipated event of the year.
“This evening is about more than awards,” said Max Amen, Wella Company General Manager UK & Ireland, as he welcomed the crowd. “It’s about recognising the brilliance of our winners, celebrating the craft at the heart of our industry, and honouring both the icons and the rising stars who inspire us all. As the No.1 Salon Colour Brand in the UK*, we are here because of your trust, passion, and partnership. Tonight is a true celebration of talent and togetherness.”
Throughout the day, finalists showcased their skills in the live competition, preparing models with precision and flair. As night fell, the museum came alive with celebration, hosted by hairdressing icons Patrick Cameron and Fergal Doyle. “Can you believe we’re here?” Patrick exclaimed. “This building, this talent, this energy — it’s going to be an unforgettable night.”
The night began with a drinks reception and an opportunity for guests to mingle and enjoy the stunning. An exquisite sit-down gala dinner followed. The evening was a true community affair, with Wella’s leading artists and salon visionaries hosting across the event. From Natasha Grossman (HOB Salons), and podcast favourite Dom Lehane, to Scottish legend Charlie Taylor, Francesco Group’s Mia Dellicompagni and Anya Campbell, Lara Johnson’s Tilly Capel, and Medusa’s multi award-winning Colin McAndrew — the lineup was a who’s who of industry excellence.
This year’s TrendVision Final paid homage to Wella’s 145-year legacy with immersive visuals that celebrated the brand’s rich history. But the spotlight was firmly on the future, with three spectacular shows and 25 breathtaking models redefining what’s next in hair.
• Shape Your World: A dynamic collaboration between Sebastian and Koleston Perfect, led by Simon Tuckwell, Pedro Pinpao, Guy Kleinhaus, Dom Capel, and colour direction by Nikki Clifford. The show marked a new era of styling possibilities.
• Make It You: A powerful exploration of hair as identity and personal expression, brought to life by James Earnshaw, Michelle Thompson, and Calum Tierney. Their models turned the museum’s hall into a living canvas of individuality and artistry.
• Surreal Colour: A Celebration of Emerging Talent: The Surreal Colour show was a vibrant tribute to rising stars, spotlighting the 2024 TVA winners who had been mentored by Wella’s leading guest artists. Nine striking models graced the stage, each one a living canvas of bold, imaginative colour work crafted with the full power of the Wella portfolio. The result? A breathtaking fusion of artistry and innovation by STIL, HOB Academy and Sassoon Academy that set the tone for the future of colour.
