Denman’s first college star winner, Yasmin Ainsley from East Durham College, has just received her prize for Denman’s Big Blow Out Competition.
The young trainee hairdresser took home a giant £1000 cash prize, and bagged a tool bundle worth over £200 for her college department. The competition, which attracted over 500 entries from hairdressing and barbering students across the UK, challenged college students to enter their best blow-dry work – with Yasmin taking home the winning title. Yasmin recently took a moment to celebrate her win and accept her prize.
She said: “I’m planning on using some of the money for a spa day or evening with my best friend Poppy, who also entered. I plan on using the remainder of the money on a holiday to my favourite place – Greece!
“I love my Denman kit and I shall be keeping it forever. The Large Head Hugger is definitely my favourite for blow drying. I’ve been doing bouncy blow-dries with it ever since I got it!”
Sandra Joyce, Hairdressing Lecturer from East Durham College, really encouraged her students to enter the high-stakes competition. The lecturer is a huge fan of competitions, as a way to help her learners improve confidence and give them an opportunity to measure their skills against their peers regionally and nationally.
Sandra said: “This was an excellent opportunity to enter a competition that Level 1, 2 and 3 hairdressing students can participate in. Additionally, the Denman tool bundle was a great range and quantity of tools and equipment for our department.”
Denman College Star Big Blowout Competition 2025 opens 17th February 2025.
