Open to all colorists, it's a continuation of Clairol Professional's support of the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign to raise awareness about heart disease in women. Colorists must use the exclusive red, brunette or blonde techniques created by celebrity stylists Rona O'Connor and Jennifer J to make over their favorite client. The winner will get a trip to Premiere Orlando. Colorists can also support the cause by purchasing Clairol Professional products that carry the Go Red for Women logo, with 20 cents of each purchase benefiting the American Heart Association's campaign.
