Prix Iris for Best Hair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prix Iris for Best Hair (French: Prix Iris de la meilleure coiffure) is an annual film award, presented by Québec Cinéma as part of its Prix Iris awards program, to honour the year's best hairstyling in films made within the Cinema of Quebec.
The award was presented for the first time at the 7th Jutra Awards in 2005. Prior to its creation, hairstylists could receive nominations in the Best Makeup category.
Until 2016, it was known as the Jutra Award for Best Hair in memory of influential Quebec film director Claude Jutra.[1] Following the withdrawal of Jutra's name from the award, the 2016 award was presented under the name Québec Cinéma.[1] The Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016.[2]
Hairstylist Martin Lapointe has dominated the category, holding the record for most nominations with fifteen. He also has won the most awards, seven, including two consecutive wins in 2013 and 2014 and again in 2016 and 2017. Lapointe also became the first person to receiving four nominations in the same category in 2016.
