Mainstage, Techniques Want Your Big Hair

Do you hope those pictures from the 80s, the ones where you had "big hair," never surface?

Hold that thought, because we have some news for you that may lead to you yourself putting those photos out there for the world to see.

In advance of its production of musical Hairspray, Mainstage Center for the Arts and Techniques Salon & Spa are hosting a contest to see who had, or still has, the best "big hair."

To enter the contest, hop onto the Mainstage website, then click on the "Big Hair Contest" banner. You'll then be able to post pictures of your big hair, from any era, on the special Facebook page set up for the contest.

Entries must be submitted by July 22, which also marks opening night for Mainstage's Hairspray.

Two winners will be selected, and announced during the July 29 performance of Hairspray.

The first-prize winner will receive a free full makeover from Techniques. For a woman, the makeover entails a haircut, color and makeup. For a man, the makeover includes accu-scalp massage, haircut and color.

The second-prize winner will receive a free haircut.

Hairspray will run at Camden County College's Dennis Flyer Memorial Theatre July 22, 23, 29 and 30. All shows begin at 7:30 p.m.

For tickets, which cost $15 for students and senior citizens and $18 or $21 for adults, or more information on the contest or musical, visit the Mainstage website or call 856-227-3091.
