Global hairdressing legend and Australia’s own Tracey Hughes has been named as the new General Manager for Dermapenworld’s Global Haircare Division, leading the EXO-GROW Collection. The brand is a global leader in microneedling technology, with a presence in over 80 countries, and Tracey will continue to build from their skincare basis, initiated from the brand’s launch in 2010, into their powerful haircare range.
Tracey brings decades of industry experience, with brand leadership, business knowledge and education expertise all under her belt. She is a Hall of Fame inductee, eight-time Educator of the Year recipient and multi-award winner, as a salon owner with ten Salon of the Year titles, corporate leader, brand developer and educator.


As an educator, she has inspired over 500,000 salon professionals across the globe, and she will now share the power of the brand’s range centred on scalp health and hair restoration.
“I am honoured to take on this role. DermapenWorld’s legacy of innovation is unmatched,” Tracey said. “EXO-GROW will redefine the way we approach haircare, and I am excited to lead this launch and bring real solutions to those struggling with hair concerns worldwide. I’m also thrilled to be part of such an exceptional company—proudly Australian and privately held—led by the most heartwarming and intelligent couple, Stene and Corri Marshall.”

“Tracey’s leadership, innovation, and deep industry insight make her the perfect choice to spearhead DermapenWorld’s expansion into haircare,” said Dermapenworld CEO, Stene Marshall. “Her expertise, skills and knowledge will be invaluable in introducing EXO-GROW to the world and setting a new benchmark for hair loss and scalp health.”
