Many of Cutting Room Creative’s stylists have been privileged to work these shows, and in fact as is the case of Joe, manager at our city salon, lead the team. Charles and Karen have been judges at the Regional Finals now for some 10 years and are proud of their involvement with this exciting competition. The teams at CRC have also had great success in competing over the years, and have won through to the Regional Final every year since their first entry in 1995. They have made the Grand Final eight times and secured Regional victory twice. They also won the Mizani Afro Award in 2011 and became runner-up in 2012. This year’s Colour Trophy Finals saw our very own Kymberley (head stylist on Voir fashion shoots) invited to join the L’Oréal portfolio team to work backstage. Joe and Laura from our City salon had such a great idea for a look for the Mizani Award that we decided to break our abstention from this year’s show, and enter them. Successfully they won through to the Grand Final, but unfortunately did not secure their 2nd ‘L’Oréal Bafta’.
