The L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy was first launched in the UK in 1954 and highlights technical expertise as well as the importance of creating an on-trend total look, with hair colour, cut & style, make-up and clothes complementing the model. In recent years the theme has been “Hair Inspired by Fashion” to encourage hairdressers to create looks their clients will want to visit their salons for.
