More than 520 guests explored London’s legendary Natural History Museum as Wella Professionals hosted the UK & Ireland TrendVision Award 2025 Final.

From the ‘Wella red’-bathed exterior to the presentation of finalist looks ascending the Earth Hall escalator into a giant globe, the event made the most of the iconic surroundings, with dinner, show presentations and winner reveals centred in Hintze Hall under Hope, the famous 25m blue whale.

Hosted by Patrick Cameron and Fergal Doyle, the night included three jaw-dropping shows with 25 models showcased artistry from some of the biggest names in UK and Irish hairdressing.

Surreal Colour: A Celebration of Emerging Talent presented a celebration of rising stars, spotlighting the 2024 TVA winners who have enjoyed mentoring by some of Wella’s guest artists (you might recall them working together for our March front cover shoot!). Mentors Stil, Sassoon Academy and HOB Academy presented bold, imaginative colour work crafted on nine models using the full Wella portfolio to incredible effect.

Shape Your World: A collaboration between Sebastian Professional and Koleston Perfect delivered edgier looks that pushed boundaries to mark the evolution of the brand, all craftedby Simon Tuckwell, Pedro “Plastic” Pinpao, Guy Kleinhaus, Dom Capel and colour direction by Nikki Clifford.

Make It You shared a dramatic exploration of hair as identity and personal expression, brought to life by James Earnshaw, Michelle Thompson and Calum Tierney. It was an electric and eclectic fusion of glam volume, bold colour and braids.

Following the shows, the 2025 TrendVision Award winners were unveiled, a line-up that will now enjoy myriad money-can’t-buy experiences, from a bespoke education development plan tailored to both the winner and their salon to a brand building professional photoshoot and digital content creation session.
