Hairdressing Contest
The Gisborne area finals of the Clairol hair colouring and styling contest were held at the Chalet Rendezvous recently.
Competitors, models and invited guests were treated to a champagne buffet dinner after which the finalists went through their paces.
Ten hairdressers competed for the first place in the Spencer L. Ayrey conducted contest which entitles the winner to compete in the New Zealand finals to be held in Auckland.
The winner of the New Zealand finals then goes on an all-expenses-paid trip to New York.
The Gisborne winner was Jillian Buckingham who styled "Apricot Flip" for model Carol Gibson.
