Pictured, Lauren Brickles’ winning work, left, and Catherine James’ third-placed style WORCESTER hairdressing students took part in online classes during lockdown this year, and proved they were a cut above the rest when they entered a Lee Stafford competition. Heart of Worcestershire College (HoW) students were invited to attend on online event where Lee Stafford and Paul Watts introduced a ‘Basic Instincts’ masterclass. Paul demonstrated an ‘on trend’ haircut, while celebrity hairdresser, Lee Stafford, spoke about his career and challenges that he had experienced before a Q&A session following the event. As well as this, students got to attend an online seminar with professional hair stylist, Darrel Starkey, who looked at colour theory and gave students insight into developing within the hair industry and how to progress within the competition world.
