Students in Raritan Valley Community College’s Cosmetology program have won the “Trade Secrets of a Hair Color Expert Theory Contest.” The hair color competition, designed specifically for students, is presented by Product Club and Burmax.
The RVCC students, Jacqueline Siguencia, Morgan Weaver, Melanie Ibarra, Hannah Burd, Layani Brown, Octavia Williams and Brianna Murray, were required to formulate hair color for three different outcomes based on the competition’s provided guidelines. Working on mannequins, they then had to style the hair and describe the steps they took to achieve the desired results.
Twenty-five cosmetology schools throughout the United States entered submissions for the competition. For their prize, the RVCC students received an advanced color class with hair color educator David Velasco, author of the “Trade Secrets of a Hair Color Expert” education series, and Adrienne Rogers, Artistic Director for Product Club and owner of Hush Salon in Philadelphia.
The next session of RVCC’s daytime Cosmetology program will run March 13, 2023 to January 18, 2024. Classes will be held Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
