Midlands Talent Shines As Sandwell College Hair & Beauty Students Qualify For National Finals

Sandwell College was proud to host the first of the regional heats for the Association of Hairdressers and Therapists, showcasing the incredible work of the Midlands’ most creatively talented students for the third year running.
We are thrilled that 33 of our Hair and Beauty students qualified for the national finals to be held in Blackpool in May, with 7 learners gaining 1st place, 14 taking 2nd place positions and 12 finishing in 3rd place.
Lead scrutineers from AHT were joined on competition day by VTCT representatives, industry-renowned make-up artists and world hairdressing judges for the unenviable task of deciding the winners.
A huge thank you to our Hair Lecturer and AHT Midland Chair Dawn Humphries for all your hard work, dedication and organisation of another successful event.
