Nelson and Colne College has been celebrating the outstanding talents of its beauty therapy students at its annual Beauty Competition evening.
Every year, students progress into a wide range of employment, some even showing true entrepreneurial spirit by opening their own salons. In addition, students have gone on to study university courses such as media make-up, complimentary therapy and make-up artistry and special make-up effects.
The Beauty Therapy Competition Evening showcases the talents of its students who are working towards NVQ qualifications at all levels. Competition was fierce, with a wide array of skills displayed on the evening – bringing glitz and glamour to the ACE Centre in Nelson!
Ann Flynn, head of division for beauty therapy, hairdressing and catering, said: “The beauty therapy competition is an annual event and each year, the standard just gets better and better!
“The creativity and talent which is showcased on the evening is extraordinary! To acknowledge and celebrate both the Olympics and Diamond Jubilee this year, we had an Olympic and Royal theme in some of the competitions and the way the students interpreted this in their designs was fantastic.”
The evening was very well attended by friends and family of the competitors and potential students, who were keen to see what they might be learning in the future on a beauty therapy programme at the college.
