Denise Morrison, Head of Division for Hair, Beauty and Holistic Therapies at York College commented: “This annual event provides a superb learning experience for the Hair & Beauty students. Each year they rise to the challenge and prove to themselves, and to employers, that they can use their skills effectively whilst under pressure. It is fantastic to see their training at college, and in the workplace, result in technical and creative skills which are showcased in this competition.”
