Crimpers sharpen scissors for Hairdressing Championships

The Irish Hairdressing Championships will take place this Sunday at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin from 11.20am.

Over 400 hairdressers from across the hairdressing industry will compete to win these high profile awards considered the greatest accolade for any hairdresser working in Ireland.

The Irish Hairdressing Championships, which have been run by the Irish Hairdressing Federation since its inception in 1974, showcases the best of the industry's talent.

2005 also sees the introduction of two new awards – the blow-drying award and trainee long hair categories, further recognising the level and range of skills in the hairdressing industry.
