Wella partners SLAHAB
Wella, the world’s leader in hair care has partnered with the “Sri
Lanka Association of Hair Dressers and Beauticians” (SLAHAB) to present
the Wella Colour Award at this year’s annual competition and awards.
The “Wella Colour Award” is offered to two categories - Ladies and
Gents Fashion Colour Trends (in any age group) with all participants
using a live model each.
Prior to the competition, a detailed seminar will be conducted by
Technical Head of Wella Sri Lanka and celebrated hairdresser Johann
Peries at the Wella Studio explaining the dos and don’ts with regard to
the Wella Colour Trophy. A member of the prestigious world body of
hairdressers - l’Organisation Mondiale des Coiffeurs (OMC), Peries has
the unique honour of being the only internationally qualified judge in
Sri Lanka.
The hair colour of the models will be initially done in the presence
of Wella officials at the Wella Studio and thereafter judged at the
SLAHAB final competition on 12 and 13 February.
The state-of-the-art Wella Studio occupies a charming 260-year old
historic Dutch house on the Kotte Road and trains local stylists, hair
dressers and colourists on the use of Wella products.
This includes a series of technical training sessions after which the
stylists will receive a certificate of participation. Visiting
international hair dressers will also share their vast expertise and
know-how at the ‘Wella Studio’ at regular intervals, and thereby help
elevate local standards. An exciting part of the ‘Wella Studio’ are
regular model shows through which participants practice their skills and
gain hands-on, practical knowledge.
In addition to the coveted ‘Wella Colour Award’, the top winners in
each of the two categories will also receive Entrance Tickets to the
prestigious Japan Trend Vision Awards 2012.
The Japan Trend Vision Awards takes place on 11 September this year
and draws hundreds of hair dressers, stylists and specialists from all
over the world.
The two lucky Sri Lankan stylists will get the unique opportunity of
participating in additional seminars and workshops, visit top end
Japanese salons and experience first-hand their functioning. Added to
this are also be visits to Japanese hairdressing schools where they can,
in turn, further hone their skills.
Chairman/Managing Director of Cosmotech (Pvt) Ltd (sole distributor
for Wella in Sri Lanka) Shirantha Peries said, “We’re happy to partner
with SLAHAB to strengthen the hands of Sri Lanka’s buoyant hair care
industry. |
