WBI Wins Big at Super Sunday!

WBI WinsWestern Beauty Institute has another winner! The Lancaster team of Rebecca Garcia, stylist, and Katie Scavo, model, won second place at the fabulous Super Sunday extravaganza. The event was held again this year at Pechanga Casino and Resort near Temecula, California. The Regis Corporation, owner of SuperCuts Hair Salons, arranges for students attending cosmetology schools from around Southern California to participate in a massively-produced competition with blasting contemporary music, staging, lights, prizes and hundreds of their fellow students urging them on, very loudly. It has been compared by some (who are knowledgeable of the event) to a rock concert starring student stylists. Each student competitor on stage was selected through “in-school” competitions at their respective schools. Teachers from the schools registered the students into the competition and shared with them the rules and the preparation needed. Supercuts supplied managers to mentor the student competitors and prepare them to show their best work.
