Inspiration & Ideas
Salon International never lets you down when it comes to getting you inspired with ideas. This year we particularly enjoyed the Colour Stage and its breakout pods, allowing the audience to get up and close with the hair colour educators. Another highlight was the Business Stage hosted by Edward Hemmings. It featured business discussions and topics that are really important to the industry professional right now.

A big takeaway from this years show was seeing the industry’s biggest names rubbing shoulders with tomorrows stars.
Heading into the Salon Live you had the opportunity to see industry giants Patrick Cameron, Mahogany, Sassoon Academy and TONI&GUY, then on the HJ Live demonstrations were in full flow from breakthrough hair artists including Jack Mead, Sheree Thompson, Brooke Evans, Stacey White, Georgia Bell and many more.

Modern Barber stage
Then was no doubting that the barbering scene continues to go from to strength as seen on the Modern Barber Stage. It showed that the vibrant barbering scene is continually adapting with mullets, longer hair and short sharp clipper cuts all sitting alongside each other perfectly, as demonstrated by a feast of barbering’ names.
