P&G Salon Professional Announces 3rd Student Stylist Competition

Are you a student stylist with skills? Think you have what it takes to make it to the next level? P&G Salon Professional is offering an opportunity to prove it with the third Student Stylist Competition at the 2012 America’s Beauty Show, which is taking place March 5, 2012 in Chicago, IL.

Here’s how it works: Students will select a model, take a “before picture” and interpret a look within his/her chosen category from Wella Professionals, Clairol Professional and Sebastian Professional using the Inspiration Guide for the category he/she chooses. The final looks are not limited to hair color and style, but also include make-up choice, wardrobe and personal style. Students then submit an “after” picture to P&G Salon Professional.
Finalists in the Wella Professionals, Clairol Professional and Sebastian Professional categories will have the opportunity to show their models onstage at Amercia’s Beauty Show before a prestigious panel of educators and judges.

“Like who?” you may ask. P&G Salon Professional Creative Director Fabio Sementilli!

“Energizing and encouraging students to reach their highest potential is our goal at P&G Salon Professional,” Fabio says. “We are dedicated to providing exciting opportunities for the next generation of stylists.”

“What’s in it for me?” you might ask. Aside from the chance to bask in the glory of being onstage at America’s Beauty Show, Fabio will present first place winners with a check for $1000, an all-expenses paid trip to Los Angeles, CA, to attend Wella Professionals North American Trend Vision Awards, a one-year supply of PGSP products and the winner’s choice of an in-school education course taught by a top PGSP educator.

Second place winners will receive a $500 cash prize and a one-year supply of P&G Salon Professional product; third place winners will also receive a year’s supply of P&G Salon Professional product and a $250 cash prize.

But it’s not all about you! This year, P&G is introducing a new award up for grabs: the Instructor of the Year Award. Each entrant is invited to nominate their mentor or instructor who has helped them grow as a student and stylist. One instructor will win a trophy and a trip to Los Angeles to attend the Wella Professionals North American Trend Vision Awards.

The deadline to enter is February 7, 2012. To learn more, visit America’s Beauty Show or the official Facebook page.
