In case you missed the biggest celebration in Canadian beauty, the 2024 Contessa Awards were held on Sunday, November 12, 2023 at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto.
Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the event garnered an audience of nearly 1,000 beauty professionals, and started with a glamourous cocktail party that featured interactive photobooths, Instagrammable activations including a candy bar and a live sketch artist, as well as red carpet interviews with special guest host, Tracy Peart.
This year, the awards gala began with a tribute show opener to honour the legendary Jon Paul Holt. A team of award-winning Canadian hairstylists and beauty pros came together to create an inspiring presentation that honoured Holt’s final works while garnering inspiration from him to create futuristic, new looks.
In addition to crowning this year’s winners, the awards ceremony featured an out-of-this-world stage presentation by Wella Company and Sebastian international artist, Omar Antonio, who made his Contessa debut with his unbelievable hair pieces and gowns made of hair.
