At the North America Trend Vision Awards, 50 talented contestants from the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada competed for a chance to represent North America on the world stage.
In addition to the live competition and awards, the evening showcased an inspiring line up of artistic presentations from some of the best hairdressing talent the industry has to offer.
Wella also recognized the life’s work and legacy of a salon industry icon, legendary Fabio Sementilli to thunderous applause.
Earlier this month at a private event, Beauty Changes Lives Foundation announced the Fabio Sementilli Professional Mentorship Scholarship honoring his contributions to professional beauty education.
