The Color & Style Trophy will establish a new pillar in L’Oréal Professionnel’s commitment to providing not only premium in-salon experiences, but also educating stylists, assisting in maximizing their potential in the industry and celebrating their unique artistry.
Internationally present since 1954, the Color & Style Trophy brings together top talent in the industry comprised of teams including a colorist, stylist, designer, make-up artist, wardrobe stylist and model to invent the new cut, color and style trends for the year.
