Joe Nappa has done it again. In anticipation of the hottest event on the hairdressing calendar, our video superstar has put together a smashing viral for this years' competition and party.

Registrations for the Redken Future Color 2010 Competition close Friday 14th May 2010, so visit the website for more information.

Photo shoot, rocking party, New York City - why wouldn't you be part of it?

Redken 5th Avenue NYC, true to their mantra of fashion, science and inspiration, owned the catwalk at Salon Melbourne, Victoria's first hair and beauty industry event. 

With Tracey Hughes, Redken's Artistic Director and owner of Mieka Hairdressing, on the main stage, demonstrating her technical excellence and unique signature style, and Redken's Artistic Team responsible for the fashion catwalk hair, it was hard to ignore the brand's presence. 

Add to that, their sharp, signature black stand, professional staff and premium product, it's no wonder Redken have spent 50 years inspiring the professional edge.

Missed them, don't worry, next stop Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, 3 - 7 May 2010, as a major sponsor. 

For 7 years running, Repellin's Koots Salle à Manger has been listed in the The Age Good Food Guide's One Chef Hat Restaurants. With its warm charm and understated style, this is a place that buzzes with local flavour: an open invitation to relax, feel good and indulge one's inner gourmand.

Redesdale Estate's hand-picked, estate grown vines annually produce some of Heathcote's best Shiraz and Cabernet blends. For one night only, south of the Yarra, these rich, dense and voluptuous wines will be matched with a 5-course menu - parfait!
