Trevor sorbie salons celebrate in-house achievements

Staff from all five Trevor Sorbie salons and the head office recently gathered for The Event - a day of creativity and exciting announcements. Trevor kicked off proceedings by taking to the stage and reflecting on his 50 years in hairdressing, before setting out his vision of the brand's future. Highlights includes the news that Trevor Sorbie Salons will be opening an academy in Shanghai, China in January 2015 with opportunities for the team to travel out and educate there. Next was the finals of the Assistant Competition, where six finalists presented models and mood boards to the company before Gianmarco Catapona was announced as the winner. More tension came with the Photographic and Business Awards with Tiziana di Marcelli (above) triumphing in both. She landed the accolades of Sorbie Image of the Year and Employee of the Year. The PURE photographic awards invited entrants to submit an un-retouched artistic shot taken on their smart phone or camera and winners included Ilaria Capitanelli, a salon assistant, who Trevor congratulated for such an impressive shot. The afternoon continued with presentations from the Art Team Part Deux, various art team members and Johanna Cree Brown, who closed proceedings with three models. And the winners were...
