The results are in, and Denman’s Stage Star USA winner has just been announced. Say hello to Arizona-based educator, hair professional, and make-up artist Jalia Pettis. Pettis beat entries across the U.S. to take the title of Denman Stage Star USA. She wins tools, opportunities, education dollars, and a trip to London, England, to compete for the global title at Salon International on Monday, October 16th. Pettis will compete against other regional finalists from France, Japan, and the U.K.
To enter, Pettis submitted a two-minute video about why she would make Denman’s perfect Stage Star, and as a finalist, she was invited to do a 15-minute Instagram Live presentation showcasing her skills.
“I am excited to present on stage at Salon International and will prepare the exact same way I did for my IG presentation. I cannot give away all the details, but I will stay true to myself and keep it engaging!”.
