Hairhouse Celebrate 2024 Conference

The 2024 Hairhouse conference took place in the last week of August on the Gold Coast, both celebrating and recognising the talent of the Hairhouse staff and franchisees with festivities including the Hairhouse gala that named its yearly winners.

The company awarded titles across salon, retail and piercing work, while also celebrating milestones for franchisees celebrating ten, 15 and 20-year tenures.

“Hairhouse Gala 2024 was the opportunity for us to celebrate our many successes as a brand over the last 12 months and to acknowledge the best of the best in our network,” shared Hairhouse Co-Owner and COO of Hairhouse, Michael O’Connell. “It was particularly special this year given our newly formed partnership with Ovarian Cancer Australia, which has seen us raise more than $80,000 in just nine months towards research and support for women battling this insidious illness.”

The conference theme was titled ‘Power of One’, while the gala offered Moulin Rouge-style entertainment, right after a red carpet arrival where guests enjoyed photo opportunities and a Spin Pod, and before an official after party. The company proudly presented a $65,000 donation to Ovarian Cancer Australia at the event.
