Sanrizz
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 Sanrizz in Guildford 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.
Leonardo Rizzo and Antonio Salmone beat off stiff competition from thirty-nine salons across the Southern region 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 Southern Regional Final their live hairdressing skills were put under the spotlight by a panel of top hairdresser judges
including Alan Edwards, Sally Brooks and Carolyn Newman. “I judged this region last year and there is a noticeable improvement in the
attention to detail of the looks,” commented Sally Brooks. “Competitors are encapsulating the concept of ‘total look’ and the colour
work is particularly beautiful.”
The team 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.
Leonardo and Antonio explain the thinking behind their striking image: “We wanted to present a beautiful outline that had a highly
polished, clean finish. Using a rich, coppery chestnut colour we applied a subtle shadow inside the style which catches the eye when
the model moves. The strong shape of the haircut works with the model’s natural beauty and makes reference to the styles of the
1940’s.”
While the judges deliberated, guests were treated to a stunning men’s fashion show from hot young designer Steve J with catwalk hair
by Jonny Engstrom and the Guy Kremer Artistic Team.
The whole room was on tenterhooks waiting to hear who had made it through to the Grand Final and upon hearing their name announced the
Sanrizz team leapt off their chairs in delight.
“We were the last team to be announced as a Grand Finalist and we weren’t expecting it at all,” said Leonardo moments after coming
off stage. “This is the third time I’ve represented the Southern Region in the Grand Final and each time it happens it just feels
better and better. I’m elated.”
