These are student produced fashion runway events, designed to show off what participants have learned in color, cutting, styling and makeup to fellow students, friends and family. This year's event filled the Presque Isle Ballroom at the Avalon Hotel with over 100 students participating. Not only do they have the opportunity to show off their work, but they also gain experience from participating in a full-scale fashion show. Since many TONI&GUY graduates work in high-end salons & spas, show participation is an important part of their professional portfolio.

Show

surprise that an international renowned TONI&GUY Hairdressing
Academy is located here. The level of confidence that TONI&GUY
students exhibit is evident in their freedom to creat hair styles. This
is best demonstrated at the annual Hair Show.
Student stylists
created their own hair fashions, which were displayed in a
full-scale competitive runway show. The show was presented to a
standing room only crowd of over 800 in the Avalon Presque Isle
Ballroom, complete with runway, lights, music and plenty of
excitement. Judges from leading area salons selected the
winners. Top winners, will be entered in the 2008 TONI&GUY

Stylist: Miguel
Santiago, Erie,

His model, Stevasia Pullium’s
hairstyle is a warm representation of things found in nature.
The flowers in her hair are actually made of hair and the
vibrant colors are representing warm weather found anywhere
other than Erie. Cocky paste was used
to hold the shape of the flowers and Hard Head hairspray
was used for maximum hold.
