Schwarzkopf and its ambassador, Rae Palmer, have launched the HABB Graduate competition for up-and-coming stylists who are educated to NVQ Level 2 in hairdressing. The regional contest, for students at Fareham and Highbury Colleges, will culminate in a grand final on 16 June. At the final, 15 students will battle it out to win a fantastic prize, including a year's apprenticeship at Rae Palmer Hairdressing in Southsea and a ticket to the British Hairdressing Awards and British Hairdressing Business Awards. Other components of the top prize include an audition for the Young Artistic Team with Schwarzkopf and the opportunity to assist Rae on a photo shoot. The aim of the competition is to unite local colleges with industry charity HABB, while providing training sessions for students and discovering new talent. Judges for the live grand final are yet to be announced.
