But 2025 marks a milestone and welcomes a whole new era for the competition.

Truly inclusive and democratic, Most Wanted is open not only to the owners and employees of salons, barbershops and other workspaces, but also to self-employed and freelance hair professionals. Plus, it’s free to enter, and based on work you’ve already undertaken.
Entries are judged by dozens of experts – including journalists from leading publications, talent scouts from top international agencies, fashion designers, directors of photography and film, entrepreneurs and, of course, the names behind the most accomplished hair businesses. At stake: highly prized Most Wanted titles, gifts galore from our sponsors and a platform like no other to boost your profile and put your name in lights.
