Education at Hair Expo is next level, you won’t just be learning and growing your craft, there’s a good chance you’ll be legitimately star struck in the process. Some of the most prolific names in the local and international hair scene are on board as educators over the June long weekend, headlining the Melbourne event and drawing in prospective students.
Top of this list is Angelo Seminara, who will teach Australian audiences the secrets behind his hair masterpieces, primarily at his A Day With The Master workshop on June 10. Unique colouring, cutting and styling, as only Angelo can do, will be showcased to attendees, and students will be able to create their own works of hair art with his guidance. It’s being touted as a once in a lifetime experience, and we can see why.
Following on with this line-up of inspirational international talents, Candy Shaw will be in attendance teaching her leading balayage techniques, as well as how this service can make you money and ensure loyal clients. Heralded as The Balay Lama and named as North America’s 2017 Educator of the Year by Intercoiffure America/Canada, her personalised workshops will dedicate hours to how you can truly master this incredibly popular craft.
In terms of local legends, you can expect to see Sharon Blain, who will present The Masters Edition at Hair Expo, with a hands-on workshop to fuel your creativity.
