The hairdressing industry danced the night away at Sydney’s Establishment Bar on Sunday June 30 for Hair Festival Wonderland, presented by INSTYLE and Styleicons and marking the middle point of the frenetic weekend and celebrating the way only the hair community knows how.
Also honouring ten years of Rogue Beauty, the brand honoured their birthday with a giant blueberry cake, as well as drinks and a Spin Pod that added to the festivities.
“Teaming up with Wonderland was an ideal match for us as we mark our tenth anniversary at Rogue Beauty in Australia,” shared Rogue Beauty Managing Director and Co-Founder Chris Hammond. “There couldn’t have been a better occasion to express our gratitude to the Australian hairdressing industry than at one of the year’s most prestigious events. We look forward to our ongoing collaboration with Hair Festival and Wonderland for many years ahead.”
The metallic themed event welcomed guests through a neon, rainbow archway, as the ideal backdrop for Instagram shots, and social media backdrops abounded with the florescent Wonderland sign and around the thematic space. Live music courtesy of DJ Cadell and The Collective, a bao station and a taco station, delectable canapes and an open bar were other highlights, while entertainment and mirror ball models roved the venue.
We spoke to some attendees about the vibe in the Wonderland room.
“Wonderland was amazing, you can’t beat The Establishment, it’s such a good vibe and it was packed,” shared Aygun Sana from Vish.
“Wonderland was so much fun, the band was sensational, it was incredible and the drinks were flowing,” added Josh Congreve.
“The Wonderland party was fantastic, it’s always great to see everyone in the same place,” said Nathan Yip. “It was well done, I could tell everyone was having a great time.”
“The Wonderland party was crazy, it’s always crazy, it’s huge, it’s awesome, it’s amazing that it goes so over the top,” said Benni Tognini.
“Wonderland was awesome, it was put together really well, the venue was amazing, the entrance really stood out, the music was great, there were great vibes and good energy, it was lots of fun,” shared Ben Kane.
We’ve barely recovered and we already can’t wait for 2025.
