The finalists have been chosen from throughout New Zealand to compete in a glitzy grand final on June 30 in front of a
star-studded crowd in Auckland. MCing the event is Mr Entertainment, Dominic Bowden of NZ Idol fame.
This national competition, performed live on stage in front of a panel of prominent judges, measures hair styling in 4
categories: cut, colour, styling and total look.
The 2007 WELLA YPS will include a variety of prestigious awards including Colour Creativity Award, Fashion Focus Award,
“Highly Commended” and the Overall Winner.
The winner will receive a $5000 prize package of travel and accommodation to London, including one week’s training at
the prestigious Vidal Sassoon Academy. Plus, the YPS trophy.
Members of the public are invited to be part of the action and to support the best of New Zealand’s young hairdressing
talent. Celebrate their creativity and applaud their success. The final will be held at Shed 6, ASB Show grounds.
Contact Monique Geenty for more details.
WELLA’S Marketing Manager, Claire Johnston says “ Stylists need to have not only the hairdressing skills to perform a
precise cut, technically excellent colour work and accurate styling technique, but also demonstrate to the judging panel
an appreciation and understanding of today’s fashion scene.”
