Concept Hair Launches National Student Competition

The first ever Concept Hair Apprentice of the Year competition will be a celebration of the UK’s very best hairdressing and barbering students. There are incredible prizes up for grabs as well as the chance to make a name for yourself right at the beginning of your career. It’ll also be a fantastic opportunity to meet amazing brand ambassadors and see exciting product demos.

A series of live competitions will give apprentices the chance to show off their skills, creativity and flair across five distinct categories: Styling, Hair-up, Barbering, Colouring and Avant-Garde. Six regional heats will take place throughout January and February at colleges throughout England and Wales. The winners of each category will go on to compete at the Grand Final, which will take place at the L’Oréal Professionnel Academy in London in March.

Celia Matthews, Managing Director of Concept Hair Magazine, said:

We are so excited to launch the Concept Hair Apprentice of the Year competition. We can’t wait to see what looks the competitors will come up with – it’s going to be fabulous!

The competition is sponsored by L’Oréal, Cloud Nine, Wahl and the Fellowship for British Hairdressing. Monica Teodoro, General Manager at L’Oréal, said:

With a brand heritage that spans over 100 years, we have continued to pioneer, support and shape the future of the hairdressing industry – and what better way than to focus on the next generation. We can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s hair professionals will bring.
