International Institute of Cosmetology Students Compete and Win


As far as creativity goes, there are no rules. These were the artistic guidelines set forth by Pivot Point International for the 2015 Funk Up Your Head Student Mannequin Design Contest. Funk Up Your Head is a global creative hair design competition for Pivot Point apprentices and students to display and share their creativity across the globe.

Students were able to submit their entries by posting photos of their mannequin through the competition website. Funk Up Your Head is a two part regional and international competition. Each Country’s first prize winner will move on to the international round. Each participating country will have a panel of judges who will select 3 winners.

The International Institute of Cosmetology with campuses in Plainville, CT and Wethersfield, CT had 3 students submit entries and all 3 placed in the regional round and one of three students won 1st place and will move forward to the International round. Natasha Galarza won 1st place for her Green Ivy design and will move on to the international round, Alexis Forstell tied in 7th place for her submission when love lies and Samantha Fabretti placed as a Fan Favorite for her peacock entry.

"It was a new and exciting experience to participate in the pivot point competition and I am honored to have been awarded with the Fan Favorite prize. Being recognized by your peers is a great feeling", said Samantha Fabretti of New Britain. Samantha is a recent graduate of the International Institute of Cosmetology’s Wethersfield Campus.
