Salon 1 recently buzzed with creativity and talent as Level 2 and Level 3 Hairdressing students took centre stage in a grand Masterclass Hair & Beauty competition. The event, held over two days, saw students exhibit their hairdressing skills in front of a distinguished panel of eight guest judges from the Hair & Beauty industry.
Tuesday: Level 2 Hairdressing
On Tuesday, students created an image based on a theme. This unit is pivotal in cultivating creativity and innovation, essential qualities for designing images for various platforms like fashion magazines, catwalks, theatre, and film. Students had the freedom to choose from three captivating themes: Historical, Fantasy, and Special Occasion.
Throughout this unit, learners are trained to meticulously plan and develop their images using mood boards, working both independently and collaboratively. The emphasis is on hard work, effective planning, imagination, and, importantly, having fun.
Winners:
- 1st Place: Davina - Fantasy
- 2nd Place: Alina - Special Occasion
