50 THINGS TO SEE AND DO AT SALON INTERNATIONAL

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of salon international, we have put together the ultimate guide to what to watch, what seminars to listen in on and where to shop at #salon23

It's been a rollercoaster of 50 years. Back in 1973 Salon International was hosted at venues such as the Royal Lancaster Hotel, Earls Court and Wembley, before finding its current home at ExCeL London in the 00s. We’ve always been at the forefront of innovation, we’ve been there for the introduction of keratin treatments and hair extensions, the early days of straightening irons, not to mention the advancements in professional colour.

We can’t wait to see what the next 50 years hold – but first things first, enjoy your time at #salon23 and don’t miss out on these 50 things to see and do…
