Participation in hairdressing competitions
Hairdressing competitions are competitions among masters in creating hairstyles, haircuts and other types of hair work. Everything is taken into account: technique, color, speed, style, etc. Both young hairdressers and experienced hairdressers take part in the competitions - in different categories, of course.
Participation in a professional hairdressing competition is very difficult. This is hard, lengthy preparation, testing the knowledge and skills of the master. This is a waste of money, a test of patience and resistance to stress. But it is also an unforgettable experience, professional development, a chance to gain fame and career growth.
Imagine how many new impressions and skills you will gain when working in front of a large audience, communicating with colleagues and judges! Only at a competition can you give free rein to your muse and surpass yourself.
Competition is always a movement forward. Everyone gets something for themselves from them.
Competition topics vary greatly.
Some competitions have correspondence nominations, when the master selects a model in advance and chooses a hairstyle, practices it in advance and then demonstrates it at the competition itself.
There are technical nominations for performing a certain type of work at speed. The model comes out with wet hair combed back, and the participant must cut, style or style his hair within a certain number of minutes.
As a rule, the participant first finds a model and agrees with her to participate in the competition.
The model must be prepared for many hours of training before the competition, and must be able to present herself correctly even during a demonstration in front of the public. Some artists who often participate in competitions hire a model for their performances for a fee.
It depends on the model how the jury will evaluate the result. A hairdresser can do a great job, but if the model shows it off with a sour face or cannot move correctly, the participant may be given penalty points and will certainly not be awarded first place.
What does participation in competitions give?
Competitions give me speed, technicality, and accuracy of work.
They also give an understanding of what a form is - the shape of a hairstyle, the shape of a haircut. By repeatedly practicing specific shapes during preparation, you can learn to feel your hair better and easily shape it into different shapes.
Why participate in competitions?
Beginning masters need to participate in competitions primarily for the sake of technique. Not for the sake of victory, but for the sake of my development in terms of professionalism, for the sake of my future.
It is not the competition itself that gives something, but the process of preparing for it. It’s like in sports: figure skaters, for example, work out their program to the smallest detail, and the coach corrects every movement, raising a leg, an arm... The same thing happens when practicing a haircut or hairstyle before a competition.
In hairdressing, precision and the correct direction of movements are very important. This gives both the speed of work and the desired cutting angle or wrapping by brushing. Mistakes are unacceptable: you placed the comb incorrectly or directed the air of the hair dryer in the wrong direction - you will not be able to style the strand as you need.
The coach will help you see the form correctly, place your hand, and understand the technical nuances.
It is very important to choose the right trainer. Of course, this must be a highly qualified specialist who has repeatedly participated and won competitions. Of course, trainings cost money, but without them you will never understand the essence of participating in the competition and will not receive a professional upgrade.
Where can I find them? The easiest way is to find out who trained the winners of the competition in past years and try to get to them.
What then? What happens after the competition?
During preparation, all elements of working with hair are practiced at speed and brought to automaticity. This is also useful for subsequent work with clients: imagine the respect the client has for the specialist, watching how a strand of hair falls beautifully with one slight movement of the hand. But we know that this is not magic at all, that in fact behind each such movement lies long and persistent practice.
Victory in a professional hairdressing competition is rarely achieved from the first participation. After all, competitive works are a separate type, requiring, among other things, resistance to stress and proper presentation. By participating in competitions several times, you will be able to avoid mistakes, learn to use your strengths and please the jury.
Remember: any participation in a competition is a colossal creative experience, it is your investment in yourself and victory over your indecision. This means it is a valuable acquisition in terms of developing your personality and skill.
