CHALLENGE The Creative Awards are the result of a nationwide search for the salon team that is able to showcase the most wearable yet modern consumer look.
CHALLENGE The L Oréal Professionnel Indian Hairdressing Awards reward excellence in technical and fashion inspired hairdressing. The following brief applies to all the creative awards. The key elements that a winning team must demonstrate are 1. An innovative cut 2. Creative hair colour 3. A modern finishing 4. Ultra stylish clothes 5. Make-up that suits the overall look The finished look must be both beautiful and commercial. The judges seek a complete look that combines all of the above factors & creates a desirable cover page that a glossy fashion magazine would use. The hair can be any length, texture or colour but has to be inspirational and show skill in the colour, style/cut and finish. The colour work should reflect the professional difference, showing off the expertise and ability of the colourist to create a unique look. The hair must be in optimal condition. Even if your overall look is amazing, if the hair is in bad condition your work will not be considered worthy of a prize. A cut, if featured, must show exceptional technical skill. The finish on the hair has to be outstanding and must not be overloaded with product. Models don t have to be professional but must be confident, own their look and walk convincingly down the catwalk. They must be photogenic as the look you create may be featured in professional hairdressing and consumer magazines. The hair must suit the model s face and bone structure. Make-up should complement and enhance the overall look and not detract from it. The overall look should be original, modern and inspirational. Only L'Oréal Professionnel products are to be used on models. L Oréal Professionnel is looking for something trend-setting that will inspire consumers and hairdressers. Your look must be original and not a reinterpretation of what has won in the past. Though judging is based on the overall look, this is a hairdressing competition so hair will be the overriding factor in any decision making process.
