The longest running professional hair competition in the world, L’Oréal Professionnel Style & Colour Trophy, celebrated the limitless potential of hair, with the 2023 theme “Meta- morphosis”.

With the Finalists Gala Event back in person after four years, held at The Star Casino, Sydney, over 400 attendees and hundreds tuning into the live-stream enjoyed a spectacle of artistic hair shows showcasing the 4 seasons, on stage interviews with previous Australian Global Winners and a plethora of the best, boldest and most transformative looks from the finalists.

Rebecca “Bex” Brent, owner and director of Willis York Salon New Zealand was crowned as this year’s winner, with her Metamorphosis-inspired look taking out first place for its response to a brief that encouraged transformation, creativity and freedom of self-expression inspired by the Metaverse. Second place was awarded to Alicia Perruzza, colourist and stylist at Circles of Hair in WA, and third place to Chanel Beck, owner of Koko Blaq in WA. Bex presented an electric pink ‘do inspired by the hairstyles in Japanese manga saying, “I went down the rabbit hole looking at metaverse and backdrops and then settled on coral and pinks.” Bex has run Willis York Salon in Wellington, NZ for over 16 years, and her manga-inspired take on Metamorphosis was visibly

In a first for the event, Australia and New Zealand became one, with professionals from invited to offer limitless hair looks and showcase their unique talents under one umbrella.
“I researched the metaverse theme of the L’Oreal Colour Trophy, by asking my clients and friends if you were to create an avatar in the metaverse what would you do? Most people said fantasy colour or style. Then I took the concept and exaggerated it. I wanted to create a being that was a bit punk, a bit princess, and tried to blend it into one little unicorn.” Said Bex. Now in its 67th year globally, Style & Colour Trophy recognises the best of the best in hair styling and colouring and works to shine a spotlight on the industry’s rising stars, turning the best among them into internationally renowned profiles in the world of hair. Celebrating the creativity and skill of hair artistry, the contest brings incredible excitement and energy to the industry, inspiring hairdressers around the world to strive to push the limits of what is possible not only in the salon, but on the world stage.
