Goldwell Announce New Goldwell Art Squad 2026

Following a nationwide search, Goldwell has named eight stylists selected for the Goldwell Art Squad 2026, led by global artist and industry visionary Mark Leeson. The selection process began with an open call to qualified Goldwell stylists across the UK, inviting applicants to submit a fashion-forward before-and-after image showcasing exceptional cut, colour and finish, alongside visual mood boards reflecting their creative influences. Finalists were then invited to attend a live audition at the Goldwell Academy, where they recreated their chosen look on a mannequin and presented their creative concept to a panel of independent judges.
