Hair Festival 2024 is mere days away, taking place on June 30 and July 1 at Sydney’s ICC, with a bigger and better event awaiting this hairdressing weekend’s third iteration.
If you want to shop, learn, compete and/or connect, there are a myriad of ways for you to experience this incredible event. Read on to learn how to maximise Hair Festival, with five things you won’t want to miss.
Festival Hub
The all-new Hair Festival Hub awaits attendees on the mammoth expo floor – with a lengthy list of exhibitors that you can find here, covering business, barber, hair extensions, haircare, tools, furniture, philanthropy, salon services and so much more. Discover the Barber Hub and Business Hub for your men’s hair and business needs, respectively, while the The Hub by INSTYLE and Styleicons is where you can find us, have a coffee and rest your feet.
New to 2024, The STAGE. will showcase top-tier education all event long, while demonstrations will be showcased at the stands as well. The STAGE. will offer two days worth of free, bite-sized education by major brands – check out the full agenda here.
Did we mention that the Festival Hub is entirely free to enter? Not only that, but all attendees are gifted a bag of products, also for free. Register now!
Education Sessions
Education remains at the heart of Hair Festival, and two days of sessions will inspire you. Whether your focus is style, cut, colour, hair extensions, men’s hair, business, hair straightening, trichology or wellness, there’s a session for you, led by prolific hair brands and educators. Don’t miss local and international hair legends on stage with individual education sessions, group bookings where you save, or an All Access Pass for total accessibility. See the full agenda here.
REALtalk
REALtalk is back to inspire business owners and managers, this year centred on overcoming resilience, with client management, staff management, innovation, sustainability and social media as core tenets of the event. Learn from keynote speakers and motivating panels that shift the way you think about business, in this unmissable morning event. Here’s the dynamic agenda!
Hair Festival Wonderland
Step into the Chromosphere for Hair Festival Wonderland, where a world of disco awaits you, on Sunday night at Sydney’s Establishment Bar, for the ultimate hairdressing party. Expect food, drinks, photo opportunities, entertainment, installations and to dance the night away. This is the ultimate way to connect with the industry and have so much fun doing it.
Competitions
This year’s live Hair Festival Competitions offer cash prizes, product prizes just for entering, the famed Hair Festival trophies, editorial highlights and the all-new chance to be the Hair Festival Champion as a Stylist, Barber or Rising Star, as sponsored by O&M. New and extended categories, and an updated location in the limelight on THE STAGE., put these competitions totally in the spotlight.
With Hair Festival just days away, you still have time to buy tickets to your preferred events or nab the All Access pass so you don’t miss a moment.
Shop, learn, compete and connect this weekend – we can’t wait to see you there!
