MentorshipProgramandPrize
Our unique program offers a two-month-long educational journey for the Semifinalists. This is a blend of live classes, creative exploration, and mentorship guided by voices from both inside and outside the hair industry.
From the contestants, five finalists will be chosen for a one-on-one coaching experience, which includes a three-day creative immersion at Davines’ headquarters in Parma, Italy.
At the 2026 Davines World Wide Hair Tour in Valencia, Spain, they’ll compete to win an exclusive mentorship opportunity with Davines’ Hair Art Director Tom Connell and the chance to have their own show at the next World Wide Hair Tour.
A competition which in many ways removes the element of competition, instead focusing on artistic development of the PARTICIPANT.
