Headmasters Paddington team
HEADMASTERS AWARDS CHANNEL THE BIG APPLE
HEADMASTERS PADDINGTON WAS crowned Salon of the Year as the salon group
celebrated its annual awards in a New York-themed extravaganza at Battersea Evolution. The
Headmasters Artistic Team, led by creative director Andrew Barton, also took to the stage
with show-stopping looks to celebrate the diversity of the Big Apple’s music scene. One lucky
colourist drove away with a Mini Cooper, and a partnership with EasyJet Holidays means
12 Headmasters stylists have the chance to become a social media ambassador for the travel
company. The group also announced it had raised an impressive
£106,000 for its charity of the year, the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Wella revamps
XPOSURE
Wella Professionals has unveiled a makeover
for its student competition XPOSURE, with
two new categories in an updated format.
Creative Colour is for students to showcase
their creative use of colour, while Colour
the Cut is for a total look that encompasses
colour, cutting and styling skills. The
updated photographic categories are open
to students in training and with fewer than
five years of experience. Before and after
images are submitted online for their chosen
category, with successful candidates making
it through to Regional and Ireland heats
before qualifying for the UK & Ireland Final.
Gold winners will win a face-to-face session
with a Wella guest artist and a course of their
choice. The college or academy with the
highest number of entries will also receive a
bespoke Look & Learn session. Entries close
on 18 February.

What February
has in store for...
KIM GOODGER
RAW
We have Carolyn Newman
coming to the salon to teach
a bespoke consultation and
colour course. She taught
us her ‘Colour your Column’
course last year and the team
loved it so much they wanted
her back again! Education is
such a huge
part of our
culture and
something the
team and I are
passionate
about.
