Jennifer Wilson is the proud winner of the “Bronze Blade” (Bronze Medal) for her work in the competitions hairstylist event held in Saskatoon on April 12.

The competition consisted of three different exams throughout the day – a bridal style, a men’s haircut and a woman’s haircut. Each exam was timed and there was no prep time allowed for any of the styles.

“Preparation and participation in an event such as this takes hard work and dedication by both our students and our instructional staff,” said Jody Holzmiller, Vice President of Training for Southeast College. “We are so proud of our students and our instructors for their commitment to their trade, commitment to the College and commitment to their education.”
