And that’s another Salon International done and dusted! This #Salon24 had some new twists, which we’d love to get your feedback on. The mix of stages hopefully hit the spot this year – we had our Colour Stage and Pods area, the re-branded HJ Academy stage especially for new talent, the legendar y HJ and Modern Barber stages and, for the first time ever, the HJ In Conversation With… Stage. The latter gave an unfiltered insight into the lives of well-known hairdressers like Jordanna Cobella, Cos Sakkas and Jack Howard. If you missed it, look out for the inter views coming out on our social channels. We may have to edit them a little bit, as let’s just say they weren't exactly PG! Check out all the #Salon24 coverage from pages 45-67.
Elsewhere in the issue we have a feature on upping your party hair game on page 38, an insight into L’Oréal Professionnel Paris’ Head Up mental health panel talk on page 30 and how to build your first kitbag on page 43. In our HJ Voicenotes inter view this month, salon owner Joe Hemmings gave some interesting predications about an industr y move back to structured employment and the importance of traditional salons for teaching the next generation.
We can’t wait to see you for the next issue of HJ, which will be dropping at HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional. In it you’ll find the full list of #BHA24 finalists and nominees. Keep your eyes peeled on our social channels and online for the finalists and nominee collections which will be dropping from now until the night of the awards. See you there!
