Three show stopping nights of entertainment, beginning with Saturday night’s Opening Gala: Sponsored by ghd, the event sees both reigning hairdressers of the year, Jayne Wild and Sara Allsop, bring their creativity to life amongst a recreation of ghd’s Mercedes Australian Fashion Week shows; moving into Sunday night’s Generation Next Gala, presenting the best up and coming talent in the industry in what is undoubtedly the most high energy event of the weekend; and culminating in Monday night’s Schwarzkopf Professional Hair Expo Awards, where the winners of this year’s awards will be crowned and celebrated amidst an international showcase of Schwarzkopf creations.
