It was a weekend of celebration for Maritime Beauty, which marked its 50-year anniversary at this year’s Carnival of Beauty show.
Held at the Cunard Centre in Halifax on April 16 to 17, the two-day show kicked off with its annual hair and nail competitions. This year’s competitions were a huge success as hairstylists battled it out for the top prizes in the New Talent, Men’s Avant-Garde, Women’s Trend and Evening Long Hair Up categories, while nail technicians went head to head in the Nail Enhancement and Nail Art categories.
