Wella Professionals TrendVision entries have started to flow in. We wanted to highlight one of the Artists from the 2012 competition in order to give you a snapshot of her TrendVision journey.

Suzanne Pack, Senior Hair Stylist at Texture Hair Salon in Ottawa, Ontario had the experience of a lifetime. In the Wella Professionals TrendVision 2012 competition she took home the following awards:

Canadian Color TrendVision Semi-Finalist Award
Canadian Color TrendVision Stylist Choice Award
Canadian Color TrendVision Finalist Award
Canadian Color TrendVision Silver Award
North American TrendVision 2012 Mrs. Congeniality Award

We asked Suzanne a few questions following the competition. Here is what she wants you to know:

Wella: Suzanne please tell us, what inspires you?

Suzanne: Life inspires me. We are only here once, so give it all you got because time is of the essence and there is no time for regrets! Success is a choice and if you stay motivated and true to yourself, then you will shine!

Wella: How did you get your start in the industry?

Suzanne: After I graduated hair school, I worked at a little salon. The people were great but weren't as motivating as what I thought they could be. Then I moved to Ottawa and started at Texture Hair Salon. The staff there motivated me to be successful, challenged me to be the best and helped motivate me to step outside the box and bring out the creative side that I knew deep down was in me. It was a snowball effect after that :)

Wella: Why did you enter TrendVision?

Suzanne: Trend Vision allows a stylist to get creative and step outside the box. It allows you to be a true artist and create your own vision of what you think each trend represents (more than what can be done at the salon).

Wella: What would you say to someone who was thinking of entering the Trend Vision Competition in 2013 but wasn’t sure if they should?

Suzanne: I would tell them to do it!! Push yourself and creativity and see how you do. If you don't place the first time don't get down about it, I didn't :) Learn from all the competitors and notice what they do. Be a sponge and soak it all in. The sky is the limit and if you don't push yourself you'll never know what your capable of. The most successful people are the ones that never stop trying!! Competing is so invigorating, inspiring and allows you to open your mind.

Wella: What are some good tips for young people trying to break into the industry?

Suzanne: Remember, we all got in this industry to express ourselves. Work hard, stay motivated and DO NOT LET ANYONE try to bring you down!! Never let anyone tell you "you can't do that" or "your crazy or weird".....Embrace your creativity and do not be shy to ask a mentor of yours how to do something... There is no such thing as a silly question. Be a sponge and soak in as much as you can!! We all started off in the same position but your future depends on how hard you work. Also, watch the people around you who are successful, they are successful for a reason :)

Stay tuned for more from Suzanne in the coming weeks as we talk to her about her journey and her experiences from winning the North American TrendVision 2012 Mrs. Congeniality Award.
