Hair & Beauty Students Shine at ‘Into the Future’ Showcase

East Sussex College Hair & Beauty students wowed at their end-of-year showcase, hosted at Kings Restaurant at the Eastbourne campus.

With the theme “Into the Future,” the annual event gave students the chance to show off their skills and creativity in a professional setting, transforming the college’s restaurant space into a buzzing hub of colour, glamour, and talent.

Models hit the catwalk styled by the students themselves, who had worked hard behind the scenes to bring their futuristic visions to life – from bold makeup looks to intricate hairstyles and themed outfits.

With everything from high-fashion editorial concepts to era-inspired styles reimagined through a modern lens, the show was a celebration of the techniques students have developed across their course – including cutting, colouring, styling, makeup application, and client care.

The evening also gave guests a glimpse into what it’s like to study Hair & Beauty at ESC, with a supportive atmosphere helping to boost confidence and build experience.

Allan Hyatt, Deputy Head of Curriculum for Business Services, Hair, Beauty & Catering, said, “The students put in an incredible amount of effort and creativity – the standard was outstanding. It’s always inspiring to see them grow in confidence and showcase their talent in such a professional way.”

Over 100 tickets were sold in aid of the Women’s Wayfinder charity, raising an impressive £665 on the night – a fantastic achievement made possible by the brilliant hair and beauty team, with an extra special thanks to Allan Hyatt for overseeing the spectacular event.
