Who was involved in the shoot?

After ten years in the hairdressing industry, a few things are certain for Vivo Co-Founder Lynden Mason. One is that entering competitions fuels the very essence of good hairdressing - creativity. "We see competition work as essential to growing our stylists.” he says. Vivo invests heavily into competition work, employing the best makeup artists, stylists and photographers in order to help bring stylists’ visions to life. “We discovered that two of our three most important values - Grow It and Love It - were embodied within competition work. I have seen the journey of many stylists as they challenge themselves, their skills, and continue to ignite their passion for hairdressing. In fact, the Vivo finalists this year range from those who’ve been just a few short years in the industry, to over 40 years and still honing their hairdressing craft through competition. We are incredibly proud of our teams. Hear some of their stories below.

With finalists across a range of prestigious industry awards, including two in the NZ Hairdresser of the Year Category, Vivo is proud to provide a unique platform for imagination, excellence and creativity in NZ hairdressing...

As Vivo's National Creative Coordinator, my task was to bring together some of the industry's leading talent. This creative team included multiple award-winning Vivo stylists Natasha King, Regina Tang, Nicky Crombie & Lizzie White. I also contributed towards the colour work and styling. Together with award-winning stylists Jock Robson as our photographer, and Sara Allsop as Creative Director, we also had Kiekie Stanners as our makeup artist and Sopheak Seng as fashion stylist - an amazing pool of talent.
