Just days away from the event, we’re looking at the stats that define Hair Festival, so you can discover the brands, educators and opportunities on offer.
2 Huge Days
Hair Festival takes place all day Sunday and Monday, June 11 and 12, with a sprawling MarketPlace across both days, the REALtalk Business Forum kicking it all off on Sunday morning, Education Sessions across the weekend, the Wonderland party on Sunday night and the Competitions closing it out on Monday afternoon.
Over 60 Educators
Across two days of Education Sessions, unparalleled brands and educators will take to the stage to teach every aspect of hairdressing life, from colour and style to hair extensions, new technologies, business, wellness and so much more, and you can choose the sessions that work for you. Bundling six sessions even gives you a valuable discount! See the full agenda here.
