Phase 1: The Photo Submission Battle
The first round is all about your concept. Pick a theme, create your vision, and capture it in a photo that screams creativity. We’re not here for “safe” styles. We want to see raw artistry and hair designs that demand attention. Your submission will be judged strictly on how well it captures the theme and how bold and original your execution is. This phase is all about creative storytelling—so show us what you’ve got. These themes do not have definitions next to them we want this to be open to your interpretation. These themes can mean one thing to you and something completely different to another stylist.
