We are so excited about Salon International this year and after reading this issue you won’t fail to be either... The live shows are back, we have an all-new Colour Stage, amazing business seminars and a host of huge names, salon groups and not to mention the hottest brands and launches in the industry right now. Turn to page 59 for the full preview of this year’s Salon International, with headline sponsor Zenoti.
One area that Salon International always excels in is trend inspiration and we’ve shared our insight into what’s hot for AW22 in this issue. Right now we can’t get enough of copper shades (and we predict your clients will love them too). Head to page 39 to get inspired by radiant reds and cool coppers and learn the tricks to giving your clients a post-summer glow up on page 49. Still on the topic of trends, sometimes the catwalk gets a bad rep for showcasing unwearable hair looks, but for AW22 we found they were surprisingly adaptable for clients – see our trend cheat sheet on page 28.
Elsewhere we take a look at the changing language around Afro hair. Textured, excessively curly, kinky and coily – how do you and your clients refer to the 4C hair type? We spoke to the experts on page 33. Plus, don’t miss our Texture Talks series dropping on YouTube this month. Each episode explores a different topic with expert guests.
Enjoy the issue, and the whole HJ team can’t wait to see you at #Salon22!
