USA finalist in the Young Talent
category, Garrett Markenson.
Held at Toronto hotspot, Muzik, the program started off focusing on fringe with FabioSementilli, a local salon owner and the Creative and Technical Director of P&G Salon Professional North America. Sementilli was followed by three Sebastian platform artists, who showed off a collaborative collection called Pharoahs of Form. They also presented three very different looks, all using just Shaper to create the versatile formations. A Nioxin presentation showcasing shiny, healthy hair, was followed up by a parade of the completed looks from the Wella Trend Vision finalists. Fan favorite Nick Arrojo took to the stage while the votes were tallied, demonstrating his latest collection inspired by fashion, music, and overall, NYC. The edgy styles were all Arrojo-wearable, fashionable, pretty hair.
