BTC Breaking News: 2017 #ONESHOT Hair Awards Winners
It’s been only three years since the start of the #ONESHOT Hair Awards—and in those three years, it’s grown into the largest hair awards program in the world. After more than 215,000 entries from 61 countries in 26 categories, this year’s #ONESHOT deserved our best and biggest party ever! Check out all the action and the winners below!
Tonight, the 652 finalist shots—and EVERY shot submitted, all 215,000—were celebrated at BTC’s third annual #ONESHOT Hair Awards at the JW Marriot in Austin, Texas where we’re hosting our Behind The Chair show. We gave 12 #BIGSHOT Awards to celeb stylists, session artists, platform artists and educators and 20 #HOTSHOT Awards to hairdressers doing real hair behind the chair.
We also laughed (when Matty Conrad, Mark Bustos and Kevin Luchmun “rode” onto the stage on hobby horses), cried (when @saramay_level10 told us the story behind her Transformation Shot of the Year model) and cheered our hearts out when @leysahairandmakeup’s acceptance speech included this: “I came to this country 12 years ago with a backpack, not knowing one word of English, and now I’m here.”
See all the #ONESHOT photos here!
Congrats to all the nominees, and without further ado…here are your 2017 #ONESHOT winners!
