Now in its 2nd year the Australian Hair Industry Awards (AHIA) Creative celebrate the very best creative talent in the industry. To be recognised for this prestigious award, hairdressers, colourists and teams put together a collection of hair photographs, before their work is blind judged to select the finalists and subsequent winners in each category. The stakes are high and the talent on display is immense, so only the very finest hairdressing collections that demonstrate well-thought-out concepts, imagination, flair, technical skill, perfect execution, suitability and beautiful photography can be chosen as the award winner. Here we celebrate the stunning and inspiring 2022 AHIA Creative winners.
