Biosense Apprentice of the Year Finals

In this exciting event, each finalist was allocated a model and had to create two hairstyles on them. The models were then judged by the audience, without any audience member knowing which model belonged to which stylist. This made the event totally fair, and it was incredible to see the talent showcased as well as the high standard of hairdressing.

Congratulations to the winner, Jesse Gallant, who is a student at Images 1 Hair Academy in Port Elizabeth.
