The cosmetology department of Savannah Technical College held its annual hair show competition April 14 at the Effingham County campus. The theme for 2025 was “Glitz & Glamour.”

Cosmetology students from the Savannah, Liberty, and Effingham campuses came together to compete in crafting innovative hairstyles, makeup, and fashion-forward looks. The outdoor courtyard at the Effingham campus was transformed into a dynamic runway, showcasing bold designs and professional artistry. Guests were encouraged to immerse themselves in a celebration of beauty and style while enjoying the vibrant energy of this highly anticipated competition.

“This event is a celebration of the true creativity and craftsmanship of our Cosmetology students,” said Cynthia Cradduck, assistant vice president for Public Relations and Marketing at Savannah Technical College. “The cosmetology program is one of our most popular and dynamic offerings, consistently filled with passion and innovation. I’m looking forward to experiencing the incredible work of our students – and who knows, I might just book a visit to the salon while I’m there!”

The event offered more than just a captivating show. Attendees accessed features such as a 360° photo booth, designed to capture the magic of the day, while Savannah Tech's dedicated cosmetology faculty worked behind the scenes to ensure a seamless and inspiring display of student talent.
