Tressed to kill: Championship to showpiece cutting edge

MORE THAN 400 hairdressers will be twisting, spiking, knotting and chopping when the Irish Hairdressing Championships get underway in Dublin on Sunday.

The championships, which have been running for almost 30 years, will see hairdressers of all levels and ages vying for the prestigious awards across 12 categories.

Champion crimper, Maeve O’Healy-Harte, who plays a leading role in organising the event, gave a sample yesterday of how the boundaries of conventional hairdressing will be pushed back on the day.
