An outstanding collection called The Journey has seen brilliant hair designer Vivienne Mackinder being announced Master Stylist of the Year at the 2015 North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) on July 12th at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas. British-born Vivienne, now a resident of Riverhead, NYC, was overwhelmed with her latest accolade and delivered an emotional acceptance speech.

“My winning Journey Collection represents an interpretation of Samurai Warriors and one thing I do know is its success is all down to teamwork, you couldn’t do it all by yourself. Thank you so much to my award winning team: amazing photographer Julia Pogodina, incredible makeup artist David Maderich, everyone in my HDTV art team and to my husband for believing in me when I don’t always believe in myself.”
