Realhallucination by DandJ Ambrose
We loved L’Oréal Professionnel Global Colourist Berni Ottjes’ Chromatique show which offered the audience a glimpse into upcoming 2026 colour launches
and showcased amazing colour reflects and sublime natural looks. Realhallucination from D&J Ambrose
took the audience on a journey through decades of drama, Avant Garde hair and iconic styles from
a range of references spanning advances in AI to the Kit Kat club.

L’ORÉAL COLOUR TROPHY IRELAND GRAND FINAL
HJ joined L’Oréal Professionnel Paris in Dublin, Ireland for the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Grand Final on Monday 9 June at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre.
The evening kicked off with host TV presenter, Brendan Courtney, taking to the stage before introducing Market Director Ireland, L’Oréal Professional Products, Ann Marie Humphreys. She said: “L’Oréal Colour Trophy Ireland has been running for over five decades - in two years, we hit the big 60.” This was followed with
a catwalk of the final looks created by this year’s Grand Finalists, which judges including Sally Brooks, Errol Douglas MBE, Robert Eaton, Alan Edwards, and Abigail
Butler, had the hard task of judging.
We were also treated to two show by Neville Hair & Beauty and Zeba Hairdressing.
First, we saw stunning big, bold and beautiful hair from the team at Neville Hair & Beauty - think texture, movement and a whole load of glamour, all showcased alongside a ballerina dancer. Next, the team at Zeba Hairdressing wowed the audience with a futuristic, AI
inspired hair show which showcased out-of-this-world looks.
A huge congratulations to the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Awards winners…
