HJ's Extensions Competition

Sponsored by Remi Cachet

Hairdressers Journal's Extensions Competition, sponsored by Remi Cachet, is returning to Salon International for its tenth year. Submit your entry below for the chance to be crowned HJ’s Extensions Specialist of the Year.

This competition celebrates the artistry and technical prowess of hair extension professionals, providing a platform to showcase their creativity and expertise. Participants will compete in categories that highlight both classic and innovative extension techniques, with finalists having the exciting opportunity to demonstrate their skills live at Salon International.

 

Entry Deadline: Friday 22nd August 2025

 

Categories: Classic & Creative

Classic: Entries should pay close attention to the technique and methods used to fit the extensions - the wow-factor final look is important, but entrants need to showcase their skills and strong ability to provide best-in-class extension fittings as well.

Creative: Hair extensions are not only used for creating volume and length, they can also be used for colour placement and for elevating up-dos to create outstanding and unique looks - this usage of hair extensions is what this category celebrates.
