Drumroll please… after an exhaustive and dynamic national tour, the L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy semi-finals have come to an end for 2020, finishing with the final round in Melbourne this week. Deciding the Victorian finalists at the city’s Art Centre, a packed out crowd watched an impressive runway show of Colour Trophy and Rising Star finalists before the final entrants in this September’s grand finale were named.

Congratulations to Emily Tong and Samantha McGillivray Smith from Anthony Nitson Hair, who were named as a finalist for an eye-catching red hair look, as well as Danni Solier and Jamie Furlan of Xiang Hair, whose multi-dimensional pixie cut wowed judges, and Tom Donato, also of Xiang Hair, whose pink short hair look was named as the third Colour Trophy finalist. The Rising Star was announced as Brikelle Kerr of Biba for a dark bob with bright pink and red accents.

These talented hairdressers joined QLD finalists, including Brad Rixon and Elyse Sprott of Rixon Hair, who won for an auburn long hair, Eveie Golding of Rokstar Salon, who is through for a retro style blonde look and Jason McAlister of Adam Eva, winning acclaim for a warm brunette look. Those are the Colour Trophy finalists, while Jade Kereama of Ink for Hair, whose trending, rich bob caught the eye of the judges, is the Rising Star nominee.
