Wella’s Beauty Envision Awards Returns With an Exciting New Twist

03/15/2023

If you’ve been looking for the perfect opportunity to showcase your skills, you won’t find a better one than Wella Company’s Beauty Envision Awards. The premiere beauty competition offers beauty and hair pros the unique opportunity to express their vision through their talents and creativity.

Sounds amazing, right? Well, even more amazing is the fact that the competition is returning this year with an all-new twist. To shake things up in the best possible way, the 2023 Beauty Envision Awards will be offering 15 exciting and new sub-categories within 4 main categories (Color, Cut, Style, and Nails). By doing so, salon pros will have the opportunity to enter into the speciality that best suits their talents and skills. And, here’s some good news: applicants don’t have to choose just one category to enter. In fact, you can enter into as many categories as you want.

But, that’s not the only thing different this year. Now, all applicants can showcase their work to the fullest extent thanks to the addition of video entries to the competition. That’s right, no more photo-only submissions! 

All of this newness BEA 2023 is bringing couldn’t be more supportive of this year’s theme: neo-flux. For those who don’t know, “neo” means a new or revived form, while “flux” means the action or process of flowing or flowing out. Elaborating on the theme, the BEA website shared, “We have entered into a new world of stimulating regeneration. With many reassessing their life goals, meaning and intention, this has reverberated into the chairs of salon professionals. For the pro, this means finding inspiration in flexibility and strength in softness. Whether creating a color palette comprised of neutral hues paired with unexpected pops of color, or shapes that are both fluid yet strong in technique.”
