• 5 teams
• 3 Industry Professional Judges
• 1 Challenge - To creatively prepare two models for prom on a shoe string budget of $100.  

The Frederick School of Cosmetology hosted its first annual "Prom on a Budget" competition where 5 student teams used their newly acquired technical skills, combined with their creative flare to compete for free tickets to the New York City to see the International Beauty Show.

Team Sassy Styles placed first. Ranked for their creativity, use of products, team work, and professionalism, Team Sassy Styles edged just above the rest to win the 2004 competition.

To assist in the competition, we asked area salon professionals to assist in reviewing the work of the teams. The industry professional judges included Barbara Montgomery from JC Penney, Amy Rippeon from Cathy Yarbough from Beauty Bar Salon.

The "Prom on a Budget" competition was a fundraising event designed to raise money for a trip to the International Beauty Show in New York City.

Frederick School of Cosmetology would like to thank the teams, parents, judges, models, and visitors for making the event a success, and enabling the students to attend an important industry even in New York City.
