The event, which took place on 3-4 March, also featured a series of make-up and nail competitions for aspiring students and industry professionals. Faith Omorogbe, a student on the Level 2 Diploma in Hair and Media Make-up course at CONEL’s Tottenham Centre, won first place in the Wedding Hair and Beauty competition. The judges praised her intricate hair styling and hand-sewn coral beaded headdress. They were impressed with her moodboard which elaborated on her inspiration, idea development and testing process. Faith was awarded prizes worth £1000 and a trophy.
During the show, the Hair and Beauty students from CONEL and CANDI also showcased their skills carrying out nail filling and polish demonstrations for visitors at the event.
Diannia Scantlebury, a Lecturer in Hairdressing and Beauty at CONEL, said: “Professional Beauty is always an inspiring exhibition and a great opportunity for students to keep up with new technologies and trends in the beauty industry. Students have the opportunity to network; broaden their outlook and recognise a range of future possible job roles they could fulfil in the industry. Professional Beauty is always a very positive, interactive day that students and staff look forward to.”
