YAT 2025
The Process
The competition process is split into 3 stages:
Stage 1: Submission of online entry form
Each entry will be judged based on the passion portrayed in the work submitted that most impresses the judges and makes them feel confident that the entrant will be a suitable YAT candidate.
We need to receive completed online entry forms by midnight on Tuesday 3rd December 2024.
Successful short listed candidates will be informed in writing giving full details of the venue and starting times of ‘stage 2’ of the competition.
Stage 2: Creating your look
The short listed candidates will be invited to the Hunter Collective London on Sunday 12th January 2025.
The competitor will have a maximum of one hour to create their look and must consider the cut, style and overall finish of their model’s hair.
Stage 3: Presentation & Judging
Each competitor will be asked to present their finished look to the judging panel, explaining the cut, styling method and products used. They will also need to describe their inspirations behind the finished look.
Judging will take place on the same day by high profile hairdressers and industry experts, all of whom are independent of Schwarzkopf Professional Limited.
