Hair Shots 2 The World Global Winners Announced
Nicole Kae from Sydney, Australia and Nicole Pede from InStyle Salon & Spa in Ontario, Canada were announced as the winners of the recently concluded Hair Shots 2 The World Global competition. They have each won an international release of their collection to hairdressing media around the world.
“I’m so incredibly excited to win this awesome opportunity, standing alongside so many amazing collections and stylists. So honoured! Inca Rising was one of my favourite collections that I’ve worked on, as it took me out of my comfort zone. It was one of those ones where I knew people would love it or hate it. I love working with different fabrics in the hair, and it was so fun exploring Peruvian culture, fashion and modernising it into the hair world,” Nicole Kae said.
Nicole Pede said, “Thanks so much to Hair Shots 2 The World and judges for this amazing opportunity, competition like these give stylist like me the platform to showcase our passion and hard work. I feel so honoured to have been chosen as one of the winners.”
Hair Shots 2 The World Managing Director, Leanne Cutler said that between awesome colour married with inspiring hair fashion, these collections were deserving winners from an outstanding field of entries. “They show the fun side to hairdressing and also excellent technique and skill,” Leanne adds.
A surprise ‘Merit’ Award was given to Kylie Hayes of Moha Hairdressing in Dunedin, New Zealand. “I told myself that I would win this (haha!) because I needed this. I’ve seen what Hair Shots 2 The World has done for salons over the past few years and already decided that I must get on board to start working with professional PR,” Kylie said.
“The Merit Award evolved as the scores between the top twelve entries were so close that it was fair to acknowledge the field of excellence. The finalist entries were all so good that we are making a digital lookbook to give finalists the kudos they deserved. Hair Shots 2 The World thanks to the international judging panel of experienced editors from Salon Magazine Canada, Images New Zealand, Frizer Slovenia and Red Mane Media UK. The Hair Shots 2 The World team is really excited that hairdressers were super keen to enter the Global Competition this year and can now develop the competition further for 2020,” Leanne said.
