GEORGETOWN, Texas
Sport Clips Haircuts, the leading franchise dedicated to men’s and boys’ hair, is calling all currently enrolled cosmetology and barber students to “battle it out” by showcasing their creativity in Sport Clips’ 2025 haircutting contest, Battle of the Hair: Student Edition. The deadline for entries is February 10.
Each year, Sport Clips hosts this national haircutting contest where up to six future professionals can win an all-expense paid trip with their instructors to the Sport Clips National Huddle that will be held in San Antonio this year. The student finalists will receive a private, hands-on haircutting class hosted by American Crew Educator Jim Massey, a prize package with tools and products, and one student will receive a $5,000 scholarship.
“This annual competition is more than just a showcase of talent; it’s a celebration of the passion, creativity, and potential of the next generation of Sport Clips stylists,” said Linda Casillas, future professional talent specialist for Sport Clips. “We are honored to provide these students with a fun and exciting opportunity to elevate their skills, gain industry recognition, and take meaningful steps toward future careers.”
To enter, students must be enrolled in a cosmetology or barbering school between the dates of December 1, 2024, and February 10, 2025. To compete, future professionals must select a model, perform an original and unique haircut, and submit three before and three after pictures for evaluation by a panel of haircare experts.
