Hair and makeup is at the heart of the entertainment industry. It is with that in mind that the premier Hair Expo made its debut recently at Prestige Plaza’s Exhibition Hall.
The one day event saw over 60 hair dressers enter the various competition segments such as weaving, hair cutting, wedding and hair styling, which resulted in judging on their style, use of product, handling of hair and technique, with awards presented to the best in the industry.
Five hairdressers emerged winners and were issued with the Golden Comb awards in the competition.
“I am truly honoured to be bestowed with the Golden Comb, which is the award for best hairdresser of this year. The Hair Expo is a great initiative which will raise the standards and quality of hairdressing in the country and I only foresee it being bigger and better in the years to follow,” stated Jane Awino of Farouk’s Salon, the winner of the weaving category.
The other winners were: Josephat, Hair stylist winner of the year; Rafat Mohamed, Wedding stylist winner of the year; Ishmael Chegero Hair cut winner of the year and Saul MrefuJuma was crowned barber of the year under a sub-category of hair cutting.
The event was attended by entertainment personalities like Octopizzo and Big Ted.
