WINNERS!!!! AHIA BEST ELECTRICAL TOOL 2023 - EVY PROFESSIONAL E-CURL PRO
Hi, I’m Tracey Bazzano-Lauretta. As a former hair stylist and salon owner, I created the EVY Professional range based on years of using hair styling tools and not being completely satisfied.
EVY Professional is the culmination of decades of experience and expertise and passion for hair.
The EVY range is all about giving stylists and consumers the very best and most technologically advanced hair tools that work to hydrate and promote hair health while styling.
I hope you love our EVY products as much as I have loved creating them.

Hair tool brand EVY PROFESSIONAL have launched the BOSS DigiForce DIGITAL HAIR DRYER, as a powerful and lightweight tool that promises hydrating technology.
“The BOSS DigiForce is truly the most exciting and powerful dryer currently on the Australian market and I’m thrilled to finally be releasing it to salons,” shared EVY PROFESSIONAL Founder and Hair Stylist Tracey Bazzano Lauretta. “Super powered with digital technology and lightweight, stylists who have already got their hands on one have been amazed at the ease of use after a full day in the salon or on set, and just how much it shortens blow-dry times. I set out to create something which would have an impact on the bottom line of every appointment, and I am so proud to have achieved it.”
The tool is anchored by 2650 watts of super-charged power and new digital technology, with an effective and smooth motor that’s also an eco-friendly solution. The ergonomic design is built at a lightweight 390 grams, making it easy to manage. The tool also offers EVY Mineral Infused Technology to lock in inner hydration for faster drying and styling. The hair dryer is infused with a blend of 32 Japanese sourced minerals that generate negative ions and far infrared energy, micronising water into fine particles that penetrate the hair. This creates a shiny, healthy and lustrous finish.
The BOSS DigiForce DIGITAL HAIR DRYER is 100 per cent Italian made with non-toxic paints, a quality ceramic grill and maximum durability for longer life, with product quality and sustainability at the core of all EVY PROFESSIONAL creations. The tool includes a two-year warranty, two nozzles for styling variance, a diffuser and a three metre cord.

Mocha Group Owner and Founder Linda Woodhead is proud to acknowledge this year’s deserving winners; “There is no better litmus test of the Australian hair industry than the AHIA’s. The fact that we continue to break records with submission numbers is testament to the emphasis which the hair community places on not just meeting quality benchmarks but exceeding them.
Hairdressing is a crucial part of the service industry and these businesses play an integral role within all of our communities, bringing us together, supporting the next-generation of talent and making us feel amazing. For that they deserve to be championed by all of us!”
