SA’s Uros Mikic Places 3rd In Prestigious International Hairdressing Awards

Uros-Mikic-Creative-Director-Kinky-Curly-Straight-copyAward-winning Adelaide hairdresser, Uros Mikic, continues to shine as a creative force globally, cementing his place as one of the world’s finest men’s hairdressers by placing 3rd in the Best Men’s Collection category of the prestigious Association of International Professional Press (AIPP) Awards.

Following on from his Finalist nominations in the Men’s Hairdressing categories of the 2014 Australian Hair Fashion Awards and Hair Expo Awards, and continued exposure in highly acclaimed industry and consumer magazines around the world, Uros continues his success in the men’s hairdressing arena, with his Historical Movements collection responsible for his 3rd place.

Uros’ achievement is even more outstanding with this being his first entry into the AIPP Awards, in a year that boasted a new participation record with the AIPP receiving 561 photographic collections from 34 countries around the globe.

“I am extremely happy to have my work acknowledged by judges of the AIPP; placing 3rd in these prestigious awards is an amazing honour and very humbling for me personally,” says Uros, Creative Director and Co-owner of Kinky Curly Straight.

“Men’s styling has been a big part of my life since I was young – as a 14 year old my first cuts were on my guy friends. I still absolutely love cutting and styling men, especially playing around with the latest trends and trying out new techniques. I enjoy shooting men’s collections as they offer a whole new world of opportunities, and I love being able to tap into my men’s and women’s hair styling skills.”

A hairdressing photography and presentation contest, the Grand Trophy Award recognises outstanding achievement by professional hairdressers in photography and presentation of their work. The Best Men’s Collection category is judged on the collection that recognizes and pays tribute to the marked increase of interest in men’s hair fashion. The AIPP assembles 71 magazine editors from 35 countries representing nearly all of the trade publications addressed to hairdressers throughout the world, to judge the awards

The AIPP Awards 2014-2015 Ceremony will take place during the world’s most renowned hairdressing event, the Alternative Hair Show 2014 at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall, London (UK) on October 12th, 2014.
