For the second-consecutive year, Kao Salon Division hosted its Creative Xperience event in Toronto.
Held on March 30th at the Four Seasons Toronto Hotel in Yorkville, the event united industry professionals for an evening of artistry and innovation in hair colour, cutting and styling, led by Kao’s North American team and hosted by Goldwell ambassador, Jacob Khan.
Salon had exclusive backstage access, capturing the excitement and energy of the Canadian artists as they prepared models for the show.
The show opened with Goldwell’s fashion colour presentation, featuring a nature-inspired palette of fiery sunset orange, soft sunrise pink, moody sky blue and Mother Nature-inspired tones.
Next up was Kerasilk, which showcased a range of sophisticated colour transformations. Goldwell national artists took the stage, including Tammie Axworthy, who’s based in Brantford, Ont., who crafted an Old-Hollywood strawberry blonde. Quebec-based Didier Lachapelle unveiled a rich cherry-cola brunette that combined classic elegance with a modern edge.
Blondes took the spotlight as Canadian Goldwell artist and past Contessa award-winner Chelsea Sutherland demonstrated a luminous pale blonde using Goldwell’s new Colorance Gloss Tones in beige shades and LightDimensions SilkLift Clay lightener.
To spotlight styling, Oribe local artist Connor Lange showcased an intricate updo, while Goldwell national artist Lindie Blackwell shared expert blonding techniques designed for salon efficiency.
The show’s grand finale featured Goldwell global artists Frank Cini and Daniel Naumovski, who demonstrated bold, avant-garde creations and techniques for pushing creative boundaries.
To close out the event, Kao Canada Salon Division’s general manager, Michael Parsons, took to the stage to announce the event’s grand-prize winner, Alex Gaunt from Bob + Paige salon, who received a trip to the Kao Salon Academy Toronto for a complimentary education class.
