The show opener for the 35th annual Contessa Awards paid tribute to the late legendary hairstylist, salon owner and mentor Jon Paul Holt. In honour of Holt and his incredible work throughout the years, a team of Canadian and award-winning hairstylists and beauty pros joined forces to create the presentation, which was divided into two segments: the first was created by Holt’s protégé Tara-Lynn Fournier and long-time creative director Myles Laphen, and showcased Holt’s final work. The second segment was created by Norm Wright, Anna Pacitto, Martin Hillier, Edwin Johnston, Tony Ricci, and Marlo Steenman, and showcased futuristic avant-garde hair looks that have been inspired by Holt, and even featured 3D-printed wardrobe created by Wright. Contessa 2024 Makeup Artist of the Year, Marika D’Auteuil and Ekaterina Ulyanoff also contributed to the show opener by providing makeup and glam for the models.
