WINNERS: 2019 L’Oréal Professionnel Style & Colour Trophy

The world’s first professional hair color was created in Paris more than a century ago by the founder of what later became the L’Oréal Group—so it’s très parfait that L’Oréal Professionnel held its international hair competition in the City of Lights. Keep reading for a look at the third international L’Oréal Professionnel Style & Colour Trophy during the Color Me French Paris 110th Anniversary Event!

More than 1,600 hairdressers and salon owners from 63 countries enjoyed the show from the chic Salle Pleyel in the 8th arrondissement. Teams from 32 countries made it to the international competition, judged by a panel of global hairdressers:

• Adir Abergel, celebrity stylist (USA)
• Alain Laroche, Director of Professional Development for L’Oréal Professionnel and Pureology, L’Oréal Canada (Canada)
• Bertram K, L’Oréal Professionnel Ambassador (Austria)
• Aleksei Nagorsky, the 2018 Style & Colour Trophy Winner (Russia)
• David Mannah, founder of The Journal Mag (Australia)
• Charlotte Catherin, L’Oréal Professionnel educator and owner of Tandem Salon (France)
• Tina Farey, owner of Rush Hair (UK)

Three very Parisian artistic presentations immersed attendees into the French aesthetic: Laurent Decreton, Adam Reed and Jeremy Blanc gave their take on “One Day At Fashion Week,” Damian Rinaldo served “Rendezvous in Paris” and Matthew Collins, Chelsea James and Drew Shaefering ended the night with “Paris Est Une Fete.” Scroll through the slideshow to see les cheveaux très magnifique!
