Calling All Stylists: Do You Have What it Takes to be ‘What’s Next’?

Enter Sebastian Professionals What’s Next Competition before February 1st, 2015!

Sebastian Professional’s What’s Next Awards is the premiere hair styling competition for Student and Professional talent who dare to take their creativity to the next level. Each year, Sebastian releases a hair collection to inspire contestants. This year, that collection is Totemic.

Totemic is far from traditional, but it’s grounded in tradition. The exaggerated shapes of masks and fabric are worked into new ways of weaving and roping. Sebastian Professional blurs the lines between headdress and hair, between ceremonial beauty and a battle cry for artistry. Hair becomes decoration, armor and art – a symbol of identity and strength.

To enter, simply “like” the Sebastian Professional Facebook page and click on the What’s Next Awards banner. Then, upload a close-up photo (chest and above) of your hairstyle inspired by the Totemic Collection. Eight finalists –four Professionals and four Students– will be flown to New York City to compete live at the finale event on April 12th, 2015. What do they win? An editorial photo shoot with a leading trade publication sponsored by Sebastian Professional and $1,000 for each category!
