GLammies by Great Lengths 2021 finalists revealed

The finalists for the GLammies by Great Lengths 2021 has been revealed, with the event set to take place on 7 February 2022.

Marking its 10th anniversary this year, the GLammies by Great Lengths celebrate the craft, creativity and business of hair extensions. As well as six specialist creative categories – including awards for colour, bridal styles and volume – this year’s event also saw the launch of eight regional categories.

As part of its charity partnership with The Little Princess Trust, the brand also introduced the Most Charitable Salon Award, which recognises a salon who has donated the most removals of Great Lengths hair between April and July.

Meanwhile, the Great Lengths Trophy for Extension Excellence will be awarded to a stylist that demonstrates a passion for extensions, evident in both their business results and creative expression. The winner will be invited to participate in a photoshoot experience, with the finished images to be used across trade press and for digital and social media.

Winners in each of the 16 categories will receive tickets for a tour of the Great Lengths production factory in Rome, along with two nights’ five-star accommodation.

Among the Ireland finalists for the GLammies by Great Lengths 2021 are  Edwina Hayes in the Enviable Volume category and Lynn Knox in the Captivating Colour category, who are both from Kilkenny’s Streetlife Hair. Linda Thornton from Lynda T Hairdressing in Wicklow is a finalist in both the Captivating Colour and Creative Innovation categories.
