Ghd style squad finalists announced

It’s one of the biggest talent teams in the industry and now the finalists for this year’s ghd Style Squad have been revealed. Now in its fifth year, the ghd Style Squad is one of the most sought-after teams for emerging talent in the hairdressing industry. A place on the squad means a year of money- can’t-buy opportunities for the chosen few, from training with top names to working on shows, seminars and events up and down the country. This year, ghd is thrilled to announce that ghd creative educator, Sally Whitehead, will be mentoring the team. Sally brings with her, six years of ghd education experience and a passion for developing future talent. She says: “I’ve had the chance to be involved with the Style Squad a little bit in the past and I’m honoured to now be given the opportunity to mentor the team. The Style Squad is like no other offering in the industry for intensive styling and finishing education – and the opportunities offered to the team is incredible. I look forward to meeting all of the audition finalists in May, and to helping them develop their skills with ghd in the future.” Competition is tough, but after a record-breaking number of entries, the finalists can now be announced.
