After four nail-biting regional heats, judged by some of the leading names in British hairdressing, this year's Wella Trend Vision Award UK Finalists have been chosen.
More than 600 competitors were narrowed down at an initial round of photographic judging, before the heats, held in Glasgow, Manchester, Kenilworth and London, whittled down the hairdressers to 20 stylists, under the age of 30 in the Young Talent Award and 16 colourists of any age in the Colour Category.
The finalists will now have until 28th September to prepare for the UK Final when they will present their models in front of a huge audience and an esteemed panel of judges at Camden's legendary Roadhouse Venue.
