Competition Categories

1. Freestyle (Salon Grooming) – Individual Participation

Participants create a salon-style haircut based on their creativity and skill. Groomers will compete in three coat-type subcategories:

Straight Coat (e.g., Yorkshire Terrier, Maltese, Shih Tzu, Havanese, etc)

Curly Coat (e.g., Poodle, Bichon Frise, Maltipoo, Cavapoo etc)

Double Coat (e.g., Spitz, Pekingese, Corgi)

If there are fewer than 3–5 participants per category, subcategories may be merged for fairness.

2. Best Team – Group Participation

Teams of three groomers (from the same salon or company) compete together, with each member representing one coat-type category.

• Scores count individually and as a team.
• Team spirit is encouraged – wear uniforms, create slogans, and represent your brand!
• The winning team is determined by the combined total scores of its members.
