We all dream about creating hairstyles like those found in the pages of W Magazine or on the runways at alternative hair shows. Maybe it’s not what your client is asking for, but wouldn’t it be cool to create your own high fashion? We do.

Once a year, we host Hair Wars, the most-anticipated event in the BUBBLES family. It’s a chance for all of our Stylists to show off their technical skills, creativity and team work, and to capture a little inspiration to take back to the salon.

Individual entries are judged on overall look in three different categories: trendy, wearable day looks; runway-worthy evening looks; and outrageous fantasy looks that pushed the limits of the imagination. Salons also compete as a group, creating a unified look and theme, and are judged on their technical, creative and collaborative skills during a presentation on stage.

The winners are determined by a team of judges, comprised of local salon owners and world-class educators. Winners receive a trophy to mark their accomplishment and the well-earned recognition of professionals in their industry. Click here to view this year's winners.
