We are beyond proud that Katie Kliger and Sophie Long were Grand Finalists at this year’s L’Oréal Colour Trophy Awards evening!
In their own words for the experience was “just unreal from start to finish.” Despite facing their fair share of challenges along the way, they pushed through and made it—and they’ve done themselves, and all of us at Academy Salons, incredibly proud.
A huge shoutout to their amazing Salon Manager Sarah Biss for her unwavering support, and heartfelt thanks to our Salon Consultant & Make up Artist Vinnie Cosiglio and Creative Designer & Educator Emma Knight—your guidance and encouragement meant the world.
From Salv Mule, Company Director: “Unfortunately, it wasn’t our year—but the team’s effort, energy, and enthusiasm were second to none. We’ll be back stronger than ever for 2026. Congratulations to all the winners—the standard of creativity this year was absolutely AMAZING!”
