Breaking Boundaries: Regular Hood Contributor Wins Craft Visionary at Wella TrendVision 2024

Just hours ago, Corinne McNaughton of Medusa Salons took home the prestigious Craft Visionary award at Wella TrendVision 2024. Discover how her creativity, bold vision, and inspiring journey led to this incredible win.

In a stunning win last night, Corinne McNaughton of Medusa Salons claimed the highly coveted Craft Visionary award at Wella TrendVision 2024. Competing against the best in the industry, Corinne’s triumph showcases her daring creativity and extraordinary talent.

"I can’t believe it—it’s surreal-I’m so emotional!" Corinne said shortly after her win. "Being recognised on such a massive platform is a dream come true. TrendVision is where the best of the best showcase their work, and to be honoured as a visionary feels unbelievable."

Her winning creation—a bold, multi-dimensional bob—featured blush tones with honey and violet accents, blending both artistry and precision.

This isn’t Corinne’s first time on the winner’s stage. Alongside makeup artist Paulina Siembor and model Lauren Smith, she has already gained recognition, including a runner-up finish at TrendVision last year. The trio’s creative chemistry continues to produce award-winning results. 

"Paulina and Lauren are a huge part of this win," Corinne added. "We’ve pushed each other creatively and found a rhythm that inspires all of us."

This win not only elevates Corinne but also shines a spotlight on the incredible talent thriving in Scotland’s hairdressing industry. For Medusa Salons, it’s a significant achievement that reinforces their reputation as trendsetters on the global stage.

Colin McAndrew, MD of Medusa, praised the win as a testament to the power of hard work and talent, saying, “This achievement proves that dedication and skill can truly take you anywhere. Myself and the entire Medusa family salute your incredible success.”

Corinne is already looking ahead, excited about what the future holds. "This win is giving me the confidence to take bigger risks and explore even more creative ideas. I can’t wait to see where this momentum takes me and the Medusa team."
