The Spanish hairdressing team X-Presion, made up by Jorge Cancer, Jose Almendral and Marco Antonio Restrepo, was crowned absolute champion at the last edition of the AIPP GRAND TROPHY 2009-2010, becoming the youngest hairstylists to win the most coveted award in the hairdressing industry worldwide.
X-Presion won over Desmond Murray (UK) who came in second and Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck @ Toni&Guy (UK) who took third, so gaining the recognition of the international trade press.
The Award Ceremony was held Sunday April 18th at Cosmoprof Worldwide fairground in Bologna (Italy), inside the exclusive hall of the On Hair Studio. The Ceremony was presented by AIPP President Roberto Pissimiglia, who welcomed on stage the thrilled members of X-Presion accompanied by AIPP General Secretary Sergi Bancells. The three young hairstylists admitted to be very moved and proud to be recognized by the editors of the best professional magazines in the world and shared their philosophy with the audience: “Those who think everything is done are wrong – all things are possible if you keep your dreams alive”.
