Twelve Certificate III hairdressing students completed their TAFE educations with the school's first Hair Show.

Each student had to prepare two models from the hair down, which included their hair, make-up, clothing, shoes - the works - all in limited time.

The air was thick with tension and hairspray, and it was clear that with one false move, this reporter might never make it home.

Stress aside, the girls excelled. Every model in the room looked like they'd been attended to by seasoned pros, instead of young talents.

"Some of their work was a lot better than some of the senior students' that have worked for years," TAFE teacher Jenny Bamman said after the event.

"It's a good experience for them, it makes them do things they normally wouldn't do," teacher Judy Hilton added.

The students organised every aspect of the show, from the food to music, stage to seating.

"The show forms part of their final assessment which is a combination of working in a team and managing other people," Ms Hilton said.

Students who graduated were Elle Brown, Rachelle Davis, Edith Dwyer, Danielle Flynn, Tania Hettle, Kristy Reekie, Sophie Rose, Tashna Stirling, Rosemary Struik, Amanda Totten, Holly Wallace and Jeweleen Whitby.

If anything, both teachers agreed their students had worked too hard during the year, took huge amounts of work on themselves and had struggled slightly to delegate tasks.
