More than 700 salon professionals packed into The Brewery in London a couple of nights ago, to celebrate Goldwell’s 2018 UK Color Zoom finals. We bagged an invite to this prestigious event, and enjoyed time spent networking while sipping on delicious cocktails and awaiting the start of the competition announcements.
Goldwell Guest Artists warmed up the audience with a spectacular stage show, before the 15 UK finalists in this year’s competition (5 in each of 3 categories) showcased their models. Elemental is the theme of this year’s Color Zoom; the name of the brand’s 2018 main collection and a concept that fuses technology with creativity, and is characterised by the interplay of rawness and refinement.
The Winners
Gold, Silver and Bronze winners for each of the three categories are as follows:
New Talent
Bronze: Millie Upton, Timba Hair & Beauty
Silver: Tanahya Nash, Tony Wood Hairdressing
Gold: Kasha Havis, Blu Hair
Creative Colour
Bronze: Gary Pellici, Gary Pellici
Silver: Bianca Jones, Oracle
Gold: Lydia Wolfe, Tony Wood Hairdressing
Partner Colourist
Bronze: Craig Paul, Timba Hair & Beauty
Silver: Lauren Harcourt, Hobson & Holmes
Gold: Stephanie Jones, Toxic Cherry
After the show, guests put on their dancing shoes for the exclusive after-party, entirely themed on this year’s Global Zoom destination – Toronto!
What’s next?
All three gold award winners will go on an all-expenses paid trip with their model to the international live finale in Toronto – awesome! They will then compete against other national winners from around the world to become one of the three winners to land a spot on the Color Zoom Creative Team who will have the amazing opportunity to be part of the Color Zoom 2020 Collection.
We’ve got our fingers crossed that our UK ladies will bring back the global titles!
