Twincare HSOTY – Every Success to our Finalists

Excitement is peaking – with this career-building event taking place tomorrow, Twincare’s MD Stav Dimitriadis has a short message for the finalists, and everyone who’s attending the incredible show on 5 November at the Lyric Theatre.
“Once again we are approaching the end of an eventful year. For me, the HSOTY signifies both the end of the year and a summary of where our industry is. I would like to congratulate all the contestants for what I know will be a kickass competition and I look forward to seeing you all at the 28th HSOTY!”
Congratulations to the finalists – our industry superstars, our iconic salon teams, our specialist creative geniuses, and our up-and-coming talent!
