Redken Own-It Awards Week has just passed, and what a week it was! It kicked off with incredible hairstyling education from iconic Redken artists Sam Villa and Adam Browne, and concluded with a star-studded finals night where the winners Ella Benn from Excentric (junior) and Alet Swart from Maison Costa (senior) were announced– their prize is the educational trip of a lifetime to the USA!

Here’s a showcase of the Redken Own-It Awards finals in pictures. Next week we’ll be bringing you a final round up and report back on the education!
