Hats off to Brown Sugar

Winners of the 2018 L’Oréal Colour Trophy

 

While our World Cup dreams may have been dashed by the Danes, Irish fans were still singing Ombre, Ombre, Ombre as this year’s 52nd L’Oreal Colour Trophy Awards kicked off in Dublin’s 4-star Clayton Hotel yesterday (Monday 2nd). Hosted by Irish TV Presenter Ruth O’Neill, guests enjoyed a chic champagne reception, followed by a black-tie gala dinner and award ceremony, all before a rip-roaring after-party in the popular city centre spot.

It was a particularly sweet night for leading Irish salon group Brown Sugar who’s South William street team reigned supreme as 2018 L’Oréal Colour Trophy Award Winners (presented to James Coleman and Laura Reid), with Brown Sugar Blackrock walking away with the top spot in the L’Oréal Men’s Image category (Joanna Fogarty and Graham Molloy). Celebrating the cutting edge of Irish hairdressing talent, the glamorous affair attracted some of the most illustrious names in the industry as well as the next generation of leaders, with the L’Oreal Colour Trophy STAR Award going to Callum O’Donovan (The Edge Hair Design, Cork).

A two-part thrill ride followed as the colour captains of Sugar Culture by Brown Sugar presented a ferocious celebration beginning with ‘sinfully fierce’ gender-free haute couture runway expression and closing with an Extra serving of ‘lewks-on-lewks,’ in “BORN NAKED.”
