Intercoiffure and Pivot Point Announce Winners of Nouveau Student Contest

Intercoiffure America Canada and Pivot Point recently held an international contest for young talent still in beauty school. The focus was based around the students’ passion for texture and why texture is important.

For the first round of the competition, students uploaded a short video where they shared why texture is important. Six finalists were selected, each of which were sent Pivot Point’s elite showcase mannequin “Michelle” who has extremely wavy hair. They were challenged to use any cut, color or style to accentuate the beauty of her natural texture.

The winning student was Shauna McCorkle from Tennessee School of Beauty, whose instructor is Ellysse J. Clarke. Shauna and Ellysse were flown to New York City to be honored on stage at the Intercoiffure America Canada Fall Atelier.
