The Irish Hairdressers Federation (IHF) has announced its Star Team 2025 line-up.
Star Team is an annual IHF initiative, which sees the industry body look for passionate and highly-motivated individuals who believe they will make an impact on the future of the hairdressing industry in Ireland.
Open to trainee stylists currently undergoing training, candidates initially fill in an online application form in which they explain their future ambitions in a maximum of 300 words. They then participate in a virtual interview.
Those who make a lasting impression on the judges are invited to the Star Team Semi Finals to showcase a colour and cut model before the panel whittles it down to a handful of finalists.
The Star Team 2025 members are Emma Killeen, Allure Hair & Beauty, Co Mayo; Jade Hennessy, Albert’s Hair Design, Co Wexford; Ellie Purdy, Brown Sugar, Dublin; Danielle O’Sullivan, Vanilla Hair Design, Co Carlow; and Caitlin Smith, Hair Creations, Dublin.
