Students take note – there’s just a month left to enter Wella Professionals’ hairdressing competition, XPOSURE 2019.

Every iconic hairdresser needs a launch pad, and Wella’s student competition could kick-start your career.

XPOSURE is a nationwide hairdressing competition solely aimed at hairdressing students with less than 5 years of experience giving them the opportunity to take their first steps on the competition ladder.

The competition closes on Monday 4th February 2019 at 5pm, so there’s still time to enter.

Entrants must have no more than 5 years’ experience and there are two categories: College or Private Training Academy.

The first stage of the competition is photographic whereby students are required to create a commercial cut and colour look using any branded products.

Students are judged on their total look with marks awarded for cut & finish and colour. Entry is all online and students simply upload their finished image.

The talented individuals that get through this initial stage will then go through to the Regional Heats, where students go head-to-head with other students around the UK in an hour-long competition. The day includes an inspirational show from some of the industry’s top Guest Artists.

The final stage of the competition is the UK Final where finalists will experience the ultimate in hairdressing competitions and battle it out to be crowned the XPOSURE UK Gold, Silver or Bronze Winner 2019.
