International TrendVision Award 2011 concluded yesterday. It was a fantastic show by Wella which saw the best hairdressers from around the globe competing all in one place and on one stage in New York.

The event began with Wella revealing their Haute Couture 2012 Trends. The new trends are – Grace, Blaze, Celeste, and Roxy. I personally liked Grace which was presented by Darren Ambrose and his team from the UK.

The show continued with Young Talent and Color competitors doing the catwalk to show their creations to the audience. It was an inspiring and emotional moment to see the best hairdressers from around the globe carry their national flag during the Parade of Nations.

Also, for the first time, Wella introduced the People’s Choice Award where the online audience was asked to vote for their favorite hairdressers. It was a unique thing which encouraged those with a passion for hair to watch the show live and make their support and votes count!
