Competition Rules – NZ Association of Registered Hairdressers
Follow the rules! There are usually so many winning finishes in every competition that the judges frequently have to look for reasons to eliminate a competitor. NOT following the rules is usually the first and foremost way to LOSE a competition!
A stylist who has been in the hairdressing industry for less than one (1) year as at 31st October 2019, including any full-time pre-trade hairdressing course, or a fully contracted Apprentice under a HITO agreement. Eligibility is to be verified by the employer or training provider.
A stylist who has been employed within the hairdressing industry for more than one (1) year but less than four (4) years as at 31st October 2019, including any full-time pre-trade hairdressing course, or a fully contracted Apprentice under a HITO agreement. Eligibility is to be verified by the employer or training provider.
A stylist who has been employed in the hairdressing industry for four (4) years or more, including any full-time pre-trade training courses as at the 31st October 2019.
Qualified stylists with under four years hairdressing experience will compete as a Next Generation Stylist.
Event open to all levels of industry experience relative to the Event being entered.
En Trend is a style that you would expect the majority of clients in your salon or barbershop would feel comfortable wearing. This style is usually a trend that is easily identified in fashion magazines and style guides and is usually client driven fashion. Stylists are capable of doing this style from an early stage in their career, therefore, all categories of stylists (New Talent, Next Generation and Senior Stylist) are eligible to enter this event. The stylist should personalise this style to suit their client and create a flattering, beautiful interpretation of the cut or colour that is being executed. In barbering a men's classic shape should be giving a modern, masterful and masculine interpretation. En Trend styling should be executed with technical excellence in cutting and design interpretation skills.
Future Trend is a style that only the top 10% of clients would wear. The style is trend setting and pushes the limits but must still be beautiful. These looks are usually more technically challenging. The styles are stylist driven and often become the En Trend look for the following change in fashion. Because of the technical difficulty required to perform the design to an elevated level, we are restricting the stylists that can compete in this section (Next Generation and Senior Stylist only). The stylist should create a look that compliments the model and marries from top to toe whilst being edgy and strong. In the men’s cutting event we are looking for the barber/stylist to create ‘the next big trend' using technical excellence in men's cutting and design and the barbers/stylist’s ability to identify the future direction of men's hair fashion.
The term Editorial usually refers to photography. Fashion photography is used to sell a physical item while Editorial photography is used to sell a total look, a story or convey a feeling to the person viewing the image. Our Editorial events will reflect the current changes that have been brought about due to many years of people producing work that is not a reflection of our industry. Work that is of a standard that could grace the pages of hair and fashion magazines. Ask yourself “Is this beautiful, is this clever and does this show my skill as a hairdresser to the industry? Does the hair I have created make my model more appealing, would I hang this art on my wall?’ We want to see beautiful work, and as judges we will be rewarding the beautiful.

Trainee/Guest Judges’ marks are not counted.
Where one Judge is more than 5 marks above or below the average of the other two Judges, this mark is then brought to within 5 Marks of the average. If the average of the two closest Judges is not a whole number, then the average shall be rounded up.
Example: Judge
The average of A and C is 29 marks, B is 10 marks “out” from the average (29-19 =10). This is brought to within 5 marks of the average 29 (10-5 = 5).
Judge B’s mark is altered by 5 marks.
A + B + C =Total
30 +19 (+5) 28 +77(+5) = 82

20 + 22 + 29 (-3) = 71 (-3) = 68

The remaining placings may fall anywhere between a high of 25 and a low of 15 inclusive (27 is not used) with the exception of a disqualification, which receives no marks.
b) When 3 placings are to be announced (6 or 7 competitors), these marks will be 30, 29, 28. Remaining places fall between 26 and 15. (27 is not used)
c) When 2 placings are to be announced (4 or 5 competitors), these marks will be 30 and 29. Remaining places fall between 27 and 15. (28 is not used)
d) When 1 placing is to be announced (1-3 competitors) that placing will be identified by a 30. The remaining places may fall anywhere between 28 and 15. (29 is not used).
