Buxton & Leek College hosted its annual Hair & Beauty Show on Sunday 19 May
in front of a packed audience at Buxton’s Devonshire Dome.
Hair, make-up and nail art designs that the students displayed included futuristic, eco, extra-terrestrial and nature inspired looks, among many more creations.
Over 100 creative Hair & Beauty Course students competed in a number of categories and went through a process of researching their theme, creating mood boards and bringing their looks to life, live at the event in front of judges from across the industry and the public.
Len Tildsley, Buxton & Leek College Principal, speaking live from the event said:
“Here we are at the fifth combined Buxton & Leek College Hair & Beauty show and the talent on display today surpasses anything we have seen before.
“There is some fantastic work from Level 1 to Level 3 Course students and it never ceases to amaze me the way some of these students, who have been with us only a matter of months can get to this level of professionalisms so quickly – it’s a real tribute to staff and the families that support them.”
Many
of the judges were former BLC students who have gone on to make a success in the hair and beauty industries. Karen Wardley, Curriculum Leader for Hairdressing & Beauty
thanked the judges, together with the models, students and staff for their hard work and commented the day was all about “smiling!”
