Haringtons - Great Marlborough Street
L’Oréal Colour Trophy 2007 Regional Finalist
When it comes to creating exceptional hair colour and the hottest catwalk looks, a team of hairdressers from Haringtons on Great
Marlborough Street have proved they are among the best in the UK having made it through to the Grand Final of the L’Oréal Colour
Trophy 2007.
Nick Bland and Emma Turner from Haringtons beat off stiff competition from thirty-nine salons across London to clinch their place in
the Grand Final in London on Monday 21 May. They are now one step closer to winning the prestigious L’Oréal Colour Trophy and a
once-in-a-lifetime prize that could see them jetting over to New York to produce a photo spread for fashion bible Vogue.
At the London Regional Final their live hairdressing skills were put under the spotlight by a panel of top hairdresser judges
including Andrew Barton, Guy Kremer, Adam Reed and Alan Edwards. “The London region produced the highest standard of entries I have
seen in the history of the L’Oréal Colour Trophy. Everyone who participated in the competition should feel really proud,” said Andrew
Barton.
The team’s had just thirty minutes to create a winning look under the brief ‘hair inspired by fashion’. Using the Autumn/Winter 07
catwalk collections as a starting point, they had to demonstrate an acute understanding of hair and fashion trends. Their model was
then sent on to the catwalk to present their creative interpretation in front of an audience of over 300 hairdressers.
Here Nick and Emma explain the thinking behind their striking image: “With regard to the hair colour, were going with a metallic feel
so there are elements of silver, grey and black. The style was designed to capture the feel of the sixties and in order to give it a
modern feel, we offset the height of a typical beehive at the side rather than at the crown in a kind of anti-head shape.”
While the judges deliberated, guests were treated to a stunning men’s fashion show from hot young designers Steve J and Yoni P with
catwalk hair by Jonny Engstrom and the Guy Kremer Artistic Team. The Harington’s team did not find out they had made it through to
the Grand Final until almost two-weeks after the event. Due to an unforeseen complication, another team had to pull out leaving the
way clear for Nick and Emma to take their place on the catwalk once again.
“We didn’t believe it when we were first told,” said Nick. “When it was confirmed we were jumping around the salon in delight. It
really is the most unexpected, amazing news!”
