My evaluation and peer evaluation.

My Evaluation- 

I was extremely nervous for my hair assessment for two reasons, my absence during 3 lessons and my difficulty with padding, which was included into my partners design. Padding has been one of the most difficult techniques I have had to learn and I am proud to say I successfully finished a hair style with padding involved, With the padding being a success I can now see how good practice, perseverance and determination is. I think my padding in my final assessment was the best I have ever done, I got the height and coverage equal. The only thing that lowered the standard was a few strands of hair that was not crimped, this stuck out on photos. If I was to re do this look again I would double check that all the hair was crimped before starting the padding.

Also, I think I could have practiced the wiggle plaits on my partners design more often to achieve a better over all look but the messiness of how the plaits came out kind of worked well with the modern twist on Elizabethan hair. I believe I worked consistently with my partner to create her wonderful design. One main issue I had with working as a team was during a trial of my partners Hair design, She didn’t bring any instructions or hair charts for me to work from and she had to explain to me step by step, I would ensure that next time I work as a group that I would have all the necessary information weeks in advance to ensure I have maximum time to practice.

Overall, I think my execution of my partners design as a whole was OK. I believe I need to work on my skills as a hair stylist to improve my overall skill set and to alter my opinion on my own work. 

As for my blog, I regrettably say that I was not as excited to do my hair blog like I was with make up, I think this was mainly due to me having little interest in hair at the start of this unit, However as I have progressed and the unit has progressed I am now really enjoying the hair side of this course. I believe the above statement backs up my lack of in depth research and excitement. This unit for me, has been a very interesting learning curve and now I know I really do enjoy hair, I think my work on blogs for my next unit will be 100% better!

Overall, my blog is satisfactory. 

Peer evaluation- 

My partner was very aware of my design and knew thoroughly how to execute it. I believe Kerry, practiced my design continuously to ensure she mastered it, which she did! I think Kerry has a high interest in hair and was giving me tips on how I could improve my overall look, which i really appreciated. We came to a decision to change my design last minute and to include some more adornments in the shape of a gorgeous £2 Christmas decoration.. a Crown!
I really enjoyed working with Kerry because she understood how I wanted my look to turn out and did my design exactly how I expected it to turn out. Kerry managed to finish my design in under 50 minutes which was excellent! Her time keeping was flawless. Overall, I am very pleased with how my design turned out and am very pleased with her skills as a hair stylist and her skills and understanding as a designer.

I only have one negative point to feedback on Kerry during this process, I found she could get a little distracted at times and has accidentally burnt my head with a crimping iron as a result, which does not darken her attitude towards the task in hand and how well her skills are as a hair stylist but it does darken her knowledge on health and safety. Overall though, I am very happy with how well I have worked with Kerry and how well she has worked with me. Well done Kerry! :)
