Fantastical designs showcased at competition

Highbury’s beauty therapy and hairdressing students let their imaginations run wild during the College’s Hair & Beauty Competition 2020: Fantasy.

External judges came over to Eden Salons to look over the amazing entries, including former Highbury College apprentice and owner of hair salon The Parlour Jess Davey, former student Phoebe Ferrin, who has just launched Beauty by Phoeb, and former student and owner of Boudoir Lulu Wellbeing Lorraine Read.

Hair & Beauty Team Leader Lyndsey McKenna said: “There have been some really fabulous designs this year. It was lovely to see all of our students engaging with the competition. Well done to everyone for all your hard work and thanks to our judges for coming along in supporting our students’ developing talents. It was great for them to see what kind of careers their courses can lead on to!”

Winners of the competition will be recreating their award-winning looks at this year’s Creative Showcase, which is set to take place on Wednesday 10th June.
