WBC participant reviews

The win that made me raise my prices

After winning at WBC I began to present myself as an artist differently. Now I can prove my professional level not just with words but with an international award. It gave me confidence in my work, and I dared to raise the price of my services.

I didn’t win the first time

My first time at WBC didn’t bring the result I wanted. But the judges’ scores helped me see the weak points of my work. I took their remarks on board, improved my technique and entered again. And the next time I won! That was when I understood how important it is to keep working on yourself and never give up.

I improved my work

Thanks to WBC I started analysing my work more carefully and noticing details I had missed before. The international jury’s assessment showed me what I needed to work on. I improved my technique, became more confident in my results and began setting myself higher professional goals.

A new level for my personal brand

After WBC I started talking about my achievements more, showing my awards on social media and using them in my portfolio. Now it is easier to present myself to clients and students, to argue my professional value and to show that I keep growing.

An international beauty community

For me WBC is not just a competition for awards. It is a chance to become part of an international beauty community, meet artists from different countries, share experience and be inspired by other people’s achievements. I felt that the beauty industry is far wider than my own circle, and that even more opportunities to grow are opening up for me.
