WELLA PROFESSIONALS USA ANNOUNCES TREND VISION 2009 FINALISTS

Wella Professionals announces the finalists in the 2009 Trend Vision Competition. The competition was launched in Spring 2009 as the annual photo competition where stylists interpreted their choice of the Wella Global 2009 Trends to compete in one of two categories:

YOUNG TALENT: Open to hairdressers of 30 years of age or younger, this category honors the best in class interpretation of a Trend Vision 09 trend that delivers an overall look.

COLOR: The color category is open to stylists of all ages, and recognizes exceptional color work interpreting a Trend Vision 09 Trend.

The stylists competing in both categories were asked to create a finished look - cut, color, style, makeup and wardrobe - that was their own personal interpretation of one of the four Wella Global Trends - Utopia, Intersexion, Virtual Life and DeLush.

The Finalists are listed (in alphabetical order):

YOUNG TALENT:

- JUSTINE HORNICK - Root Salon - St. Paul, MN

- KATIE SCHEMEBER - Harvey Allen Salon - Merrick, NY

COLOR:

- LEONARD GOLONKA - Dieci Salon - Livingston, NY

- AUNDREA WITZIG - Atomic Kitten Salon - Bakersfield, CA

These finalists will go on to compete in New York, in mid-October, for a chance to become the USA TREND VISION winner in their respective categories. The winning finalists will then go on to represent the USA at the International Trend Vision competition in Berlin, Germany on November 1, 2009.
