Top competitors from around the globe gathered in Paris, France, November 6-8, 2010 for the OMC HairWorld Championships of Beauty. This highly-competitive, international event took place downtown at the Porte de Versailles Convention Center in conjunction with Mondial Coiffue Beaute. More than 1,000 top hair, nail and makeup competitors from 60 countries attended, and exhibits, stages and classrooms accompanied the competitions.
Amid the activities, the World Championships, the premier hairdressing competition in the world, took center stage. Better known as HairWorld, this event showcased the best hairdressers from around the globe competing in timed, style challenges. Each contest tests the stylist's creativity, skill and ability to perform under pressure, leading up to the final day when one competitor is named the World Champion.
In preparation for the three-day international showdown, PBA | NCA Team USA relentlessly trained for months, led by their team trainers:
Dale Dees, Senior Ladies Fashion Team Trainer
Amanda Smoot-Phillips, Senior Ladies Technical Team Trainer
Manuel Rodriguez, Junior Ladies Fashion and Technical Team Trainer
"Competing in the World Championships requires talent, skill, creativity and dedication," says Mark Goodman, NCA President. "PBA | NCA's Team USA represented our country with enthusiasm, passion and hard work."
PBA | NCA is the U.S. representative to Organisation Modial Coiffure (OMC), which sponsors the OMC World Championships of Beauty.
