Making the Cut 2015 has announced its call for entries, inviting stylists throughout Southern California to enter its annual competition for the chance to win cash, prizes, publicity, and the highly coveted title of “Southern California’s Top Stylist 2015.”
The live hair show competition includes red carpet photos, an opening performance by Scott Fontana, appetizers and cocktails, a stage production featuring live cutting and styling from the six finalists, and a full hair and fashion runway show.
