October 18. ABC- 2

Next was judgment. After hairdressers left the hall, models stayed there. Judges were a famous hairdresser and the editor in chief of magazine in the whole country. And special judge was a talent, Suzanne. They stared at models and me. I felt stressed, because I got severe looks from them. The first judgment winnows the candidate down from 150 to 30. We waited an announcement of the result.


After we waited for a while, the result was announced. We passed the first judgment beautifully. Next was the final judgment. I was very nervous, because number of models decreased. I thought that I wasn’t watched by judges in the judgment. So I thought we cannot get an award.


Finally, the awarding ceremony started. Many kinds of awards were announced in turn. There were many sections. For example, ladies’ cut, men’s cut, hair make, and photo creation. All of them were beautiful works. I was happy to see. Then suddenly, the name of “Michika” was called. She receives two awards. They were awards of magazine. I was so happy, but another surprising thing was happened. She received the grand prix of the section!! We were excited. We went on the stage, and she received a certificate of merit. I received a trophy from Suzanne. I was so happy. It was like a dream. After the awarding ceremony, I was taken pictures by some people.


I was happy, because I experienced rare event. I am interested in fashion and beauty, so I think that the experience is so profitable for me. And I think creating is wonderful work.

October 18. ABC- 1

I took part in a contest of hair cut “ABC” as a hair model on October 18 in Fukuoka. ABC is “Asia Beauty Congress". About two thousands of hairdressers and beauty technical college students took part in it. I undertook the part because I was asked by a hairdresser of beauty salon “pikaichi” in Kumamoto. She is Michika, still an assistant in salon. She is same age as me, so we become friends soon. I went to the salon, because we had to predetermine clothes, makeup and hairdo. We selected clothes together. I selected favorite clothes as if it is my usual shopping. But it was correct. We could decide clothes quickly. Makeup was so fancy. Under eyes were painted yellow. Cheeks were painted glaring orange. And I was stick seals of star under left eyes. I left Michika to decide hairstyle. I had bob hair since I was a high school student. I thought I want to change hairstyle. So I was looking forward to changing.


That day of the contest, I went to Marine Messe in Fukuoka. When we arrived at Marine Messe, there were many many people. They look like people concerned beauty, because everyone is fashionable. We came in the hall. And I was made up for the first judgment. After makeup, I sat on a chair in the hall. There were many pairs model and hairdresser. We entered in a section of “Under 23 years old”. There were about 150 hairdressers.


The first judgment started at last. Every hairdresser started to cut hair all at once. The time limit was 40 minutes. They must to cut and set hair in 40 minutes. I had a timer in my hand, and I informed the time to Michika. Michika finished cutting and setting. But I didn’t see my hair yet.
