P&G Salon Professional is building the next generation of stylists with their third Student Stylist Competition to be held at 2012 America’s Beauty Show, which is taking place on March 5, 2012 in Chicago, IL. The competition is open to all non-licensed students enrolled in a certified cosmetology school. Winners will receive cash and education prizes.

In order to compete in PGSP Student Stylist Competition, you must take a “before” picture of your model and then interpret one of the looks within your chosen category from Wella Professionals, Clairol Professional and Sebastian Professional, using the Inspiration Guide for your category.

The final looks will be decided on factors such as color and style, wardrobe, makeup, and personal style. You’ll then have to submit the “after” picture to PGSP. Finalists from the three categories will have the opportunity to show their models on stage at America’s Beauty Show, before a prestigious panel of educators and judges.

Fabio Sementilli, creative director of PGSP will present first place winners with a check for $1000, an all-expense paid trip to Los Angeles to attend Wella Professionals North American Trend Vision Awards, a one-year supply of PGSP product, and the choice of an in-school education course taught by a top PGSP educator. Second place winners will receive $500 and a one-year supply of product, while the third place prize includes a one-year supply of product and $250.

The last date for submitting your entries is February 7, 2012. For more information about how to enter P&G Salon Professional Student Stylist Competition 2012 visit their website or follow updates on their Facebook page

Antonio Quintieri won the inaugural People’s Choice Award as he amassed maximum number of votes from the online audience. Congrats Antonio!

Last year, Antonio was featured on ScissorBoy TV where he gave an AMAZING, super detailed and thorough explanation for a long hair cut including some very cool cutting techniques.

The layering techniques that he demonstrated are multi-purpose for the clients as well as stylists. Since these techniques work well for everyone, they can be easily customized to set up a new look either by styling hair or by simply tying them in a ponytail.

Check out the preview of that video below.

ScissorBoy with Daniel Galvin

Daniel Galvin is often referred to as the “King of Color” because he has been involved in every major innovation in hair coloring techniques and their application.

Daniel himself has built a reputation as one of the world’s leading authorities on hair colour. His work has a great influence on the industry as a whole, and he is in great demand for his expertise.

Daniel Galvin will be featured on ScissorBoy TV to bring two action packed and knowledge filled episodes to hairdressers everywhere. Daniel’s fans can catch him in action as the first episode airs on August 8, 2011 on ScissorBoy.com

Here are some amazing pieces of advice and thoughts which reflects how the King of Colour approaches his business and personal life.

Hair is the ultimate accessory that is never taken off so it’s essential it always looks at its best. Colour is about making what nature gave us better.

Colourists were seen as the underdog and I always wanted us to be recognised as much for the work we did as cutters.

My passion has always been to raise the level of respect for colourists from clients and colleagues.

I wanted to push the boundaries whenever I could and get my name and colour as much publicity as possible.

I have a fantastic team at my London salon and it’s important I offer them as many opportunities as I can so they can grow and develop as they are the future of the business.

I was the first hairdresser to receive an OBE in 2006 for services to hairdressing. It was a privilege to receive this honour and going to the palace was one of the most emotional days of my life.

You are as old as you feel – age isn’t important apart from when you are born and when you die. Age is irrelevant – you can do anything you set your mind to.
