Colour Trophy 2021, Winner
“It was such an honour to win the L’Oréal Professionnel International Style & Colour Trophy last year! This is such a prestigious accolade, the longest running hairdressing competition in the world and to be named champion is just phenomenal. This had been a goal of mine since I started hairdressing, to be honoured twice within Australia and now the international award - I am so grateful. The support I have received from the industry and more closely, my L’Oréal Professionnel family has been amazing.”
