The leading Goldwell color experts are thrilled to announce this year’s 2016 Goldwell Color Zoom Challenge U.S. Finalists. Leading colorists from across the country sent in entries for one of the three Color Zoom Challenge Categories –Creative Colorist, New Talent Colorist, and Partner Colorist – around the theme of D!SRUPT, which asked stylists to break through the conventional constraints of shape, color, and texture.
In June, applicants were narrowed to just 15 Semi-Finalists by a prestigious panel of industry experts. Following the Semi-Finalist round, the expert Goldwell Hair Color Global judges’ panel have now selected three Gold U.S. Finalists, one for each category.
The Goldwell Hair Care team is also pleased to congratulate the runners up in each category. This year’s Silver Finalists include: Jacob Kahn of Jacob K. Hair (Atlanta, GA), Sophia Ance of Cortello Salon (Jacksonville Beach, FL), and David Peacemaker of David Ross Salon (Charlotte, NC).
This year’s Bronze Finalists include: Keely Martinez of Tangles Salon (Wichita Falls, TX), Veronica Inness of Bleach Hair Addiction (Miami, FL) and Rosa Hawkins of Dirosa Hairecare (Franklin Square, NY).
