Southern Regional College, Newry Campus hosted their annual hairdressing competition for all NVQ Level 3 full time and day release hairdressing students as part of their qualification.
A packed audience viewed and sampled the three different categories in the competition: Commercial Day Style, Ladies Evening Style and Avant Garde.
