The La Biosthétique International Beauty Stylist Awards recognize excellence in hairdressing and styling, with one of its most prestigious accolades being Stylist of the Year.

This particular haircut and colour earned a semi-finalist spot in the top 5 in Canada — and looking back, it remains one of the looks I'm most proud of. Over a decade with the company as a student, employee, salon owner, and educator gave me so much, and I'm genuinely grateful for every moment spent alongside such an incredible team here in North America.
