The Beauty Envision Awards presented by TrendVision is a
competition for salon professionals who are ready to influence the
very definition of beauty with the art they create. This
competition replaces the Wella Professionals’ TrendVision Awards
and the Sebastian Professional’s What’s Next Awards.
Guests cheered on finalists, who were narrowed down from over
5,000 entries, competing in eight beauty categories ranging from
“nail art” to “complete transformation”, creating looks around the
“Kaleidoscope” theme during the live competition. This year’s theme
challenged competitors to capture the complex patern of constantly
changing colors and shapes tied to the idea that life is constantly
evolving, as is the beauty industry.
Finalists in each category were mentored and judged by a group
of leading professionals in their field. Mentors guided finalists
towards achieving their final looks representing the “Kaleidoscope”
theme, while judges looked for high levels of innovation,
technique, skill and creative interpretation of the theme.
