North Western Regional Winners

Softly Spiked Haircut

Toni and Guy Salon won the L'Oréal Colour Trophy with the softly spiked razor-cut layers of this medium-length hairstyle. A diagonally angled part leads to the effortless-looking side sweep of the long bangs.

All edges of the layers, which were cut at an angle declining from back to front, are flipped out to large and delightfully wispy tips. The hairstyle has much movement and volume, complemented by a color that is a true must-have for this season and beyond: a deep and rich burgundy with chocolate accents.

Textured Curls

A long cascade of razor-textured curls earned Barbara Daley Salon a L'Oréal Colour Trophy to take home. The happy winner infused much romance into her model's long red hair and added a couple of twists to make it contemporary and ravishing.

The first twist is in the fringe. It is lifted and swung backward, forming an intriguing little bump just a tad off-center. A great effect is the straight tendrils with their extended length sticking out randomly along the sides. Her waves are very even and balanced throughout.

Asymmetrical Purdey Look

A shift of perception can make the day a little brighter. This short asymmetrical hairstyle is tilted slightly to one side and convinced the judges to award a L'Oréal Colour Trophy to the Francesco Group. Modeled after one of the great classic looks of the '60s, this extravagant version of a round cut has the finest of textures all around its shapely perimeter.

Elegance and simplicity are spiced up with the unobtrusive but intense choice of color. The more you look at it, the more you want it. A very dark base is complemented by needle-thin strands of the brightest, richest orchid purple.

Spiky Tips Hairstyle

Daniel Gray Salon created a men's hairstyle with sharp, razor-cut tips and earned the Men's Image Award - well deserved. This innovative cut for men has almost too many great elements to list.

The dark brown and medium brown colors work together to add much visual depth to the hair, enhancing the unkempt sexiness of this creation. Shorter strands next to heavy texture and long points make this style very lively. It is styled straight all around, keeping close to the head and complementing his stubble-bearded face.
