1 Step outside your comfort zone and enter competitions such as L’Oreal Colour Trophy. The feeling of excitement when you get through to the finals is amazing, but you have to enter to be in with a chance of winning! Don’t let fear of failure stop you from entering.
2 You have to spend time putting together a winning entry, so set time aside and don’t rush it; don’t underestimate the time you need to do.
3 You don’t need to be a big fish to make a big splash in the industry. Just believe in your own skills. You have the knowledge you already need so put it into practice.
4 Don’t get distracted by what other people are doing, keep doing what you’re good at and concentrate on your own vision.

1 My biggest piece of advice is to know the rules inside out – and stick to them. Read them repeatedly to make sure you’re meeting every requirement because they’re there for a reason, and they can make or break your entry.
2 Beyond that, having a strong creative concept is key. Your look should tell a story and showcase your vision.
3 Even the most stunning colour work needs a flawless finish to truly stand out.
4 So, invest time in your styling, the condition of the hair, and the overall presentation – it’s all those elements combined that will make your work shine.
Each category has its own criteria to give entrants an opportunity to showcase their colour vision, and the closing date is 3 April 2025.
