The EOHCB Western Cape Competition was held on Sunday 6 May 2018 at Mowbray Town Hall in Cape Town. The sections catered for entry level hairdressing students and learners, all the way through to advanced qualified hairdressers. The event received an overwhelming amount of competitors and spectators and the excitement and enthusiasm on the day was magical.
The theme for the 2018 competition was #Stylistof2moro which stemmed from the development of the youth in the industry combined with the experience and guidance of industry leaders. Students and learners from the Carlton Hair Academy, Partners Hair Academy, Northlink College and the College of Cape Town came to showcase their talents.

The division would also like to acknowledge Westcliff School of Skill and Batavia School of Skills who had learners attend who are currently completing high school and may potentially enter into the Hairdressing field once leaving school as these two schools are skills school that offer Hairdressing as part of the schooling curriculum.

Congratulations to the 2018 #Stylistoftomoro winner Farazaanah Abrahams and the senior overall winner Mia Crous. On behalf of the EOHCB and Western Cape Divisional Executive Committee, Congratulations to all the competitors, employers, and training providers who encourage and mentor the competitors, to develop quality hairdressers in the industry.
