Announcing The 2018 Winners Of Redken's Next Big Thing

Redken would like to extend a special congratulations to Jaclyn Harwood, Kyle Pinneo, Karla Valenzuela, Laura Frazier, Brittany VanDyke and Bri-Anna Burkey who have been named the winners of Redken’s 2018 Next Big Thing Contest!

The annual competition challenges the Redken Artist network to showcase their skill and artistry by creating themed looks and sharing the images on Instagram. This year’s competition required participants to submit looks themed around transformative hair, icons, and machinist-inspired details.

The talented winners received an all-expenses paid trip to Los Angeles where they enjoyed a celebratory party at The Sixty Hotel rooftop, and mingled with some of the best and brightest in the industry, including Redken Celebrity Colorist Tracey Cunningham. The winners were also mentored by Redken Global Artistic Ambassador Sam Villa at an editorial-styled photoshoot hosted by Bangstyle.
