Ever evolving & growing
In 2023, the competition’s mission is simple: to embark on a quest to uncover talent from all corners of Ireland. For the first time in our long-standing history, the new L’Oréal Colour Trophy Moving Image Award category is open to entrants working in a salon, or as an independent stylist.
The competition invites entrants across ALL categories to create a colour look on any model, of any gender or any gender identity of any hair type.
Entrants, if successful, will go straight through to compete live at our Grand Final.
Heritage
1954 saw the dawn of a new era in the world of Hairdressing. Tottenham Court Road in London provided the backdrop to the very first L’Oréal Colour Trophy. A competition that would go on to become the longest running live hairdressing competition in the world. Founded on professional colour, L’Oréal Professionnel Paris was the original brand of the L’Oréal Group created by renowned French chemist Eugène Schueller. With a bold move to discover the best colour trends, the best talent and the best colourists, L’Oréal Professionnel Paris launched the L’Oréal Colour Trophy.
Ireland soon followed and launched the L’Oréal Colour Trophy in 1966. Pioneering for their time, new categories were added such as the Men’s Image Award, consumer look award and Young Colourist award. Reaching its 50-year birthdate, the event catapulted itself into competition history once more by hosting one of the most prestigious hairdressing events at the iconic Dublin Convention Centre. That year, the winner of the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Award went on to win the international Style and Colour Trophy Global competition.
Fast forward many decades and many iterations of this iconic competition later, the L’Oréal Colour Trophy continues to uncover the artistry, the mastery and the talent of Irish hairdressing.
