The expo was sponsored by professional hair care experts Sebastian, Joico, and Nexus and featured cosmetology students representing public and private cosmetology programs throughout the United States. Spiked hair is one example of a style that was first introduced in beauty shows and that later developed into a hot trend. Yoo and Sloan were each given 50 minutes to develop and complete their longhair designs. Kathy Soria, of Cerritos, also went home with second place honors in the progressive evening make-up category. Under faculty supervision, students provide haircuts, hair designs, permanents, hair coloring, weaving, highlighting and low lighting as well as corrective coloring.
Patrons can also treat themselves to a soothing European facial, mask, manicure or pedicure.
