L'oreal Professionnel Colour Trophy
This love story with hair started way back in 1955 in the UK. The biggest event of its kind in the world, the L'Oreal Professionnel COLOUR TROPHY is now recognized internationally as one of the most exciting competitions in hairdressing today. Held in over 32 countries around the world the competition gives an amazing platform for hairdressers to express their creativity, as well as helps in developing the hairdressing industry.
With India so prominent on the global map and and Bollywood inspired fashion making waves in Cannes and every conceivable event or talking point in the world, the Indian version of the contest is now in its third year. Says Smira Bakshi, Business Head, " L'Oreal Professionnel Colour Trophy in India, Fashion is inspired by Bollywood and our hairstylists who work with the film industry eventually set trends that reach the common man. Aspiration is at an all time high and fashion-consciousness becomes more meaningful when validated by a trendsetting company like ours."
