For Champions: What to Expect from Hygiene Judges

When it comes to competition, hygiene is a vital aspect of showcasing your professionalism and skills. The hygiene judges will be observing every step of your process to ensure you adhere to the highest safety and cleanliness standards. Their scoring system goes beyond just a tidy station—it reflects your commitment to safe practices, model care, and following event protocols.

Expect judges to assess details like whether you’re wearing the full PPE provided, your station is prepped and sanitized, and you’re adhering to the regulated dress code of scrubs and comfortable shoes. They’ll also note how you dispose of needles, clean your workspace post-treatment, and ensure your model feels supported and safe throughout the procedure. These meticulous observations ensure that champions not only deliver exceptional results but do so with the utmost professionalism.

To succeed in this category, champions should focus on precision, cleanliness, and model care. Remember: a clean, organised workspace reflects your confidence and skill, leaving a lasting impression on both judges and your model.
