Music will blare from the speakers, the crowd will cheer, and some of the most spectacular hairstyles will be born. Join stylists, fashionistas and members of the beauty industry for the 4th annual Hairapalooza Cut & Colour Competition on Sunday, October 18, 2009 at the Capital Event Theatre for what promises to be a remarkable event showcasing the talents of local professional and student hairstylists.
Hairapalooza presents an energetic, entertaining and exciting competition where 20 professional and 20 new talent stylists compete for prestigious Hairapalooza trophies. The styles are not your typical haircuts; Stylists let their creativity take over with vibrant colours or innovative geometrical shapes. Fully accredited judges from Canada’s Judging Program will preside over the competitions.
“First and foremost this event is just plain fun. It’s also a creative outlet for hairstylists who work ‘behind the chair’ every day and who want to let their imaginations go. Lastly, it’s a great way for hairstylists and student hairdressers to compete in a friendly, supportive environment.” says Frank Bruno, Schwarzkopf Professional National Sales Director and founder of Hairapalooza. “We encourage the city of Toronto to join us and to see just what their local hairstylists are capable of.”
In addition to cutting edge hair creations, attendees will be treated to an avante guard runway show presented by Schwarzkopf Professional focusing on its 111 Year Anniversary. The styles will show the range of creativity over the decades.
In addition, attendees not only get to enjoy a great show and exciting competition, but take home gift bags valued at over $30; almost the price of their ticket.
The first Hairapalooza was held in Barrie, Ont. in 1997. Since then, the anticipated event has expanded to Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Windsor, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal.
