Hairdressing Competition

Hairdressing App

Carshalton College is hosting a hairdressing competition on Monday 27 February. The show is titled Fantasy with students creating looks using the media, magazines, videos, movies and music for ideas. 

Held in the Pulse Sports Hall, the venue will be transformed into a setting for a fashion show. Over 60 hairdressing students aged between 16 and 60 years will be styling models throughout the day creating an entire look. Family and friends will be asked to model the looks including make up, hair and outfit, combining elements of the course they have learnt so far. Students taking part will be from all levels with six competition groups; Full Time Level 1, 2 & 3 and Apprentices from Level 2 Year 1 & 2 and Level 3.

The show will start at 7.00pm and is open to family and friends of the students, staff and the general public. The competition is put on annually to allow the students to complete a module of their course in organising and taking part in a live event, to celebrate the talents of the hairdressing students and raise money for charity. 

This year, tickets will be on sale for £5.00 and collection boxes used on the night to raise money for Cancer Research.

Carshalton College has a great reputation for their Hairdressing courses. The courses have been running for over 50 years since the College opened, making it one of the few original vocational courses on offer. There is a front of house  Renaissance salon that is open to the public, which is a realistic working environment and a training salon where learning takes place in a creative atmosphere. The staff are all dedicated practitioners who continue to work in industry alongside their teaching role, keeping updated of new trends, innovative ideas and practices. 

The fashion show will be judged by industry professionals from TV, Businesses, Employers, Retail and tutors at the College. Winners will be picked from each group with winning styles being unique looks where students have stepped outside the box to be creative and in the use of resources available. Moodboards will also need to be provided with an outline of the theme with pictures, drawings, text and materials explained. Winners can also add the achievement to their CV and the success is recognised by employers with previous winners gaining promotions at work placements following the show.  

Tickets will be available from beginning of February and sold on a first come basis as we are restricted with numbers.
