The results are in…
Whoop whoop! The finalists of the Colour World Genius Awards 2023 are announced. We’re stoked that this year has been more competitive than ever; more than 650 entries across 10 categories. The most entries we’ve received in the fifth year of hosting. So congratulations to everyone who has entered!
Finalists decided
The jury was made up of 26 highly-accredited judges; each a colourist or leading salon owner and award-winners. Entries were judged on technical ability, taste and suitability for the category entered.
Thanks to sponsors Joico, K18 and Blonde Solutions, we’re bringing the finalists to a Colour World Genius Party in central London to announce the winners and you can join them! The Grand Final CWGA 2023 is held in a new stunning venue: Gigi’s Hoxton on 14th May 2023. This is our time to celebrate colour properly. Awards presentations, live music, dancing and a cool London vibe venue. From 6pm till late… we can’t wait to see you there! Tickets on sale HERE
