RHINELANDER – Nicolet College Cosmetology students will host their annual Student Hair Show next month.
The Hair Show will be held in the Nicolet College Theater, 5364 College Dr., Rhinelander, on Friday, March 8 at 6 p.m.
The public is invited to attend.
A release from Nicolet said the $15.00 admission serves as a fundraiser to support advanced student education. This year, the Cosmetology program is partnering with the Nicolet College Food Pantry to offer attendees the option to donate one non-perishable food item to receive a $5.00 discount on the price of admission.
Nicolet said money raised from the hair show will allow cosmetology students to attend America’s Beauty Show in Rosemont, Illinois, where students can test out the latest products and tools while also networking with seasoned stylists.
“Our primary goal with the student hair show is a fundraising event for the students’ continuing education,” said Nicolet College Cosmetology Instructor Marie Stott. “In addition to that, it’s nice for students to showcase their talents.”
Stott said the show is different every year because each group brings in new ideas and aesthetics.
This year’s theme is “Night at the Movies,” and will include a pre-party hosted by the students prior to the start of the show in addition to a silent auction afterwards. Nicolet College Culinary students will also prepare hors d’oeuvres for attendees to enjoy prior to the event.
“Each cosmetology student will glam up three models in full hair, makeup and wardrobe, and models will be judged by local industry professionals,” Nicolet stated. “The top scores are awarded prizes like tools, products and gift cards, as well as the coveted Golden Brush Awards.”
Stott said that in years past, members of local salons are in attendance to recruit students for job opportunities based on their work displayed at the show, noting the event is a “great way for students to establish themselves in the local industry.”
Tickets can be purchased at the door on the night of the event or online in advance at www.nicoletlive.com.
