Photo of Rochelle Fernandes’ entry model A GROUP of hairdressing students from Reading College have shown they are a cut above the rest by making it into the final of Concept Hair Magazine’s Learner of the Year 2021 competition. The annual competition gives the next generation of hairdressers and barbers the chance to be recognised for their hard work and skills. To enter the first round, each of the young hairdressers submitted a photo of their finished hairstyle for the Festival Hair category in December 2020. This is the first time that the students have entered this particular competition. All of the Level 1 hairdressing students successfully made it through to the final.
