How it all came together

Our in-house competitions began in March at each individual campus, where students competed for a chance to represent their school at the next level. In April, the North Hills campus hosted the final showdown, inviting the top two winners from each category across all three locations to battle it out for the regional title.

The event would not have been possible without the generous support of our local community who donated prizes for our winners and judged the competition. The competition brought together students, educators, family members, and beauty professionals to celebrate the next generation of stylists.
