Stylists reveal top tress trends

The singing sound of scissors, clouds of hair spray and endless cords of straighteners set the scene for another hairdressing showdown in Timaru.

Yesterday's 2010 Fashion Hair Design Awards saw 100 entrants from 15 salons between Oamaru and Ashburton vie for the region's top hairdressing title at Caroline Bay hall.

Organiser Steph Fraser said the open annual event, run by the South Canterbury Association of Registered Hairdressers, put the competitors through their paces with some sharp competition.

Junior to senior hairdressers were out to impress the judges, and the entrants with the highest points go on to represent South Canterbury on a national level.

The number of entries had climbed for this year's event and there were several people from Dunedin among those on the cutting floor. Herald Staff
