Nail Care Questions & Answers

1. Does it matter for state if Student/Competitor wears smock or polo? Answer: No.  Both will be accepted for the state competition.   However please read the national rules if you advance to the national competition - only polo shirts will be accepted at the national level.

Competitors should also plan on black dress pants, closed-toe shoes (accompanied by black dress socks or black or skin-tone seamless hose) 


Stay tuned: As more people ask questions - more will be posted. Good luck to all the competitors!

Utah Beauty/Cosmetology Related SkillsUSA contests will have a few changes this year which include:  Barbering will be held at Davis Tech  – Special Thanks to Penny Romero for being willing to step into Fred’s shoes!   

Finally, we need to shorten total time on the competitions, so this year we will have a few less elements to the competitions that we may have had in previous years or what the students will experience at the national level.  Here are a few of the details:

1.       No written tests for any competition.

2.       Any tie breakers will be based on the most difficult element/skill of the competition (Ie. Haircut, tips, etc. ) host or judges can determine the element, prior to the competition (If you have preferences, let me know, we will decide by the end of Feb. and publish for all).

3.       Total number of elements of competition will change slightly  –

a.       No written tests

b.       Customer consult or customer service element may be removed due to time – more details will come through the Ed. Chair/leads

4.       Competitions on are all starting much earlier on Thursday 3/26/20 and can go as long as needed through the day, however no contestants can leave the site before a judge & host agree that their work station is clean.

5.       Competitions on Friday 3/27/20, scoring for judges must finish at 1:15 pm and scores submitted by 2:30 pm to the state team.  Students may stay longer if they need to clean their stations.

6.       Each school that participates should plan on bringing items that can be contributed to the 1^st, 2^nd, & 3^rd place prizes per competition they have students competing in.  If the hosts or state team get vendor sponsors that will be a bonus to the prize packages.

7.       Each school is also responsible for providing judges who are disconnected from your school/students for at least 2 years – more details will be coming

8.       Please supply six judges prizes on the day of the competition so they can be given at the end of each of the events.
