Timed Assessment - In the role of the stylist evaluation

Unfortunately due to Bethany’s absence I had no clue of what I would be designing and I feel there was a lack of communication on her part because although she was absent she still could have sent me her ideas via the internet so I could have had some practice but this was never done.

However before my assessment I had some time to quickly run through Bethany’s design to get an idea of what I would be creating. Bethany wanted me to create a ring of curls around her head, the middle part of her hair gelled down and the bottom part crimped and back combed so it stays up in the air. When it came down to me doing the assessment I did struggle slightly as Bethany has quite short hair and the design she wanted me to create should have been created on someone with perhaps slightly longer hair. This is because at the bottom of her hair she originally wanted it back combed so it lifted in the air and stuck out at the sides but because her hair was short and quite dry it just looked like a big ball of fluff. So therefore we decided to change it by tucking the hair underneath making it look a bit neater and we found this definitely worked better.

Overall I am happy with the outcome because everything else on her hair I found quite straight forward so it all went smoothly and although I was unable to practice beforehand I still feel pleased that I managed to pull it off and have a successful outcome.
