The 33rd annual Contessa Awards were held virtually on Sunday, November 7, 2021, and it was definitely one unforgettable night!
Hosted by Toronto-based hairstylist and TV personality Bill Rowley, the virtual awards ceremony featured DJ Fafa Khan from Montreal, special guests, with some hilarious moments and emotional speeches live from the winners.
The night also included two exclusive presentations led by Wella global creative artist ambassador Darren Ambrose of D&J Ambrose from London, England, and Matrix Canadian artistic director Rodrigo Araneda from Montreal.
A special shout-out to everyone who entered this year, along with our esteemed judging for their participation.
Thank you to our generous sponsors who continue to support us in producing the largest professional beauty awards in Canada.
