2005 L'Oréal Colour Trophy

On May 16, 2005, the L'Oréal Company held the Grand Finals portion of its annual hairdressing competition, The 50th Annual L'Oréal Colour Trophy. Teams from across the United Kingdom have already competed in regional events, and now the top winners from these events will vie for top honors in the UK's most glamorous hairdressing competition.

Among the challenges is to design the wearable look of the future. The winners will receive a prize package including a trip to New York, photo assignments, and will be featured in the pages of international fashion and style magazines such as Vogue, Glamour, and Gentlemen's Quarterly. Regional competition has been fierce and will continue to intensify as the regional winners advance to the Grand Finals at London's Earl's Court 2.

In addition to the regional awards they have already won, the teams will go head-to-head for the L'Oréal Colour Trophy (the classic women's style competition), the L'Oreal Men's Image Award (the men's style award, launched in 1999), the Next Generation Award (open only to competitors under 25 and sponsored by Hairdressers' Journal), and the Glamour Award (sponsored by Glamour Magazine, to find the most wearable style for Glamour readers).
