Redken kicked off the presentations with a high-energy nod to New York with seemingly never-ending models.
Moroccanoil wowed with a 12-model lineup that balanced elegance and avant garde—models were adorned with crowns, preserved butterflies and elaborate gowns.
And Aveda’s colorful showing was lighthearted and joyful; Antoinette Beenders and team created shapes with style instead of cut.
We’d be remiss not to mention Cumming’s top-notch hosting—his light-hearted banter and ever-changing hairstyles throughout the show kept the audience laughing and energy up.
