“Essentially we were given the task of creating the perfect hairdressing image using just one shot. We had to pick the one picture we felt demonstrated passion and skill. After that it was up to the judges and I’m delighted our work has been honoured in this way,” said Julian. “The entire process revolved around social media usage and the instagram app in particular.”
Aside from a well deserved gala evening at the plush Hyatt Hotel New Orleans where they will rub shoulders with some of the world’s leading haircare professionals, the team will also be taking part in a three day ‘Cut, Colour and Style Seminar’.
