Remi Cachet Summer Ball 2023
The 2023 Remi Cachet annual Summer Ball and Awards night celebrated the past years success with vip guests and stylists from around the UK gathering at the Hilton hotel in Gateshead on the evening of Saturday 1st july 2023. Not only were the stylists successes recognised but also the brand’s 10th birthday of Remi Cachet elegance and the parent company, additional lengths, 20th anniversary were celebrated.
Newcastle
Bringing the party to Newcastle city centre for the first time, the 260-strong guests were entertained by a saxophonist and magicians whilst arriving on the red carpet before enjoying a sumptuous three-course dinner ahead of the awards presentations. The night continued with a live band, a 360 booth and casino tables until the early hours.
Developing the Business
Now in our third year of the awards, we are proud to have been able to invite more stylists to join us this year and really create a great buzz to the night. Victoria lynch, founder of Remi Cachet. We wanted to celebrate the special occasions for additional lengths and Remi Cachet with many of those that have supported us over the years, working closely with our super stylists to develop the business for the future.
Supporting Charities
The evening supported two charities close to the heart of the business; feeding families and little lady locks. Feeding families is a local charity that offers support, hope and security to those experiencing food poverty. Little lady locks are part of Remi Cachets hair recycling scheme accepting donations of pre-loved hair extensions to transform them into hair pieces for children suffering from hair loss. Charity founder, Ashley Higgins, attended the event to present the Recycler of the Year Award and was also surprised by a special hair donation which received a standing ovation from the crowd as they celebrated someone very close to the Remi Cachet brand.
Custom-Made
Victoria wowed her guests with a custom-made dress incorporating Remi Cachets hair. Designed and made by local bridal and occasion wear specialist, Kate Fearnley, the dress had hair sewn into the skirt and crimped for an added impact, focusing on the detailing of the dress.
Award Winners
Regional Hair Extensionist of the Year
Recognising more of our top stylists from all corners of the United Kingdom and judged externally by leading Extensionists Louise Bailey and Inanch Emir.
Hair extensions are all about creating the most natural look that complements and enhances the clients own hair so I was looking for those transformations that are applied with precision and a seamless blend. This years entries were by far the best I’ve seen and what stood out to me is the versatility of the transformations from pre-bonded keratin to weft applications. Inanch Emir, Inanch London.
