The Pathfinder Tech Cosmetology Department is excited to have you attend the Beauty School Battles on April 26th, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.. The battles are a challenge of skill and creativity amongst Cosmetology student competitors (on mannequins only). For the mannequin event, students battle for the top three places in the following category areas: fantasy, formal, and textured. For the nail event, the two competitive categories are freestyle and formal. Students may enter as many mannequins or nails as they would like, with the cost being $25 per manikin and $20 per five nails.
All students must be registered and their entry fees paid prior to the event. The battles will be judged by professional local salon and spa owners. Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the battles on the day of the event.
There will be a cookout-style lunch offered for $6 per meal. This will consist of a choice of a hamburger/veggie burger/hot dog, and include chips, cookies, and a bottled water. It is recommended that the $6 price per meal be paid at the time of registration. Lunch tickets will be available for purchase on the day of the event, however purchasing lunch tickets at the time of registration will help us ensure that we have a sufficient number of lunches available for purchase on the day of the event. The lunch break will be a fun event for all, with music and dancing!
Please note that all participating schools must provide their own transportation to and from Pathfinder Tech for their participants. The school’s address is 240 Sykes Street, Palmer, MA 01069.
