Congratulations to our global elite – the International Hairdressing Awards embarked on their world tour to announce and award the 2022 winners and we have the names!
The awards’ fourth year saw 500 collections entered from 38 different countries, with International Hairdresser of the Year and International Artistic Team of the Year only able to be entered on the basis of an invitation.
The platform’s founder and director Mikel Luzea and global ambassador Sergi Bancells travelled all over the world to surprise the winners and announce the news to them personally, naming winners from March 20 to 30. The tour and announcements were available to follow on social media and will now be made into a docu-reality TV program.
“Eleven days of touring included seven cities, seven winner announcements live on Instagram, nine flights (two transoceanic), 25,000 kilometers traveled by plane, more than 1,000 kilometers by car, six lost bags (recovered within 24 hours), 14 fashion outfits, 1463 gigabytes of audiovisual information on two hard drives, 60 stories on Instagram, 38 posts on Instagram/Facebook, more than 550,000 impressions on social networks and countless doses of enthusiasm, happiness, celebrations and good vibes,” the brand shared.
