ere at Concept Hair Magazine, we are all about inspiring and motivating the next generation of hairdressing talent — and we believe that competitions are a great way to do this. We offer three competitions aimed at all levels of trainee hairdresser, from those just dipping their toes in the water at school, to fully-fledged apprentices.

HAIR UP

“Competitions are great because they give you a creative outlet early on in your career. They help you to learn what works and what doesn’t, and to see hair as part of a whole look. This gives you a good base to start refining your work and seeing what you really love and then what you don’t like too. Competitions also give you a great platform to meet others within the industry, from your peers who you compete with to the judges at the top of the industry.” Ashleigh Hodges, Creative Director, Hairdotcom Art Team

"For me, entering competitions has always been a great way to express myself, to show off creativity and to have fun with more extreme looks. However, entering competitions is a great way to educate and evaluate your own skillset. The skills you pick up on the way, whether you win or not, are invaluable to becoming a successful hairdresser. Winning is just a bonus as long as you are learning along the way.” Jake Unger, head of education, HOB Academy
