The competition began with 100’s of entrants from around the country.  The next round saw Serafina being invited to London where she had a 15 question written test paper and a 10 minute interview with TV celebrity hairdresser Adee Phelan, filmed by the BBC camera crew. Victorious in London, she then went to compete in the third and final round in Manchester. Wowing both judges Adee Phelan and Beverly Cobella in Manchester, Serafina competed in the final on BBC 3 along with 3 other hairdressers.  

 

The BBC television programme hosted by George Lamb, saw Serafina compete in four rounds of tough challenges designed to push their hairdressing skills to the limit and each round saw one hairdresser leave the competition. The first round was to create a 1940’s vintage style, the second to design a short gravitised look for an advertising campaign, the third was a hair theory test and the final part was to create a high fashion look in just two hours. Serafina had to consider not only hair but clothes styling and make-up for her model too, after a very close and hard decision for both judges Serafina was crowned runner up.
