Wella professionals trend vision 2014: uk finalists announced!

The UK finalists for Wella Professionals Trend Vision 2014 have been announced, following a round of regional heats. From over 900 entries, 180 entrants were selected to present their work live at regional shows, with 36 finalists eventually chosen to go ahead and fight for the chance to represent the UK at the international final. Each year, entrants are tasked with interpreting one of the trends defined by Wella Professionals - this year being Urban Native and Borderline Beauty. Entrants can participate in either the Young Talent or Color category. Regional shows didn't just showcase the work of entrants - they also provided the opportunity for some of the most exciting names in the industry to present their own inspirational looks. Sassoon Academy showcased their Prairie collection, while Marc Antoni and Sanrizz captivated the audience with their presentations working with Koleston Perfect Innosense and new Blondor Freelights. Wella Professionals Education and Events Manager for UK & Ireland, Sheila Jackson said: "Every individual who has reached the UK Final should feel extremely proud of what they have achieved. It’s fantastic to see so much passion and creativity and our esteemed panel of judges found the standard of work higher than ever before."
