HAIR & THERE

Last month, HJ was on tour! We headed to Alan Howard HQ in Stockport for their newest launch, QiQi, joined hundreds of Afro stylists at the Tressly Business Summit, spent an afternoon at The Gherkin for Zenoti’s Innergize 2025 Beauty and Wellness Summit and headed to the Sassoon Academy for a first look at the I-conic Collection SS25! Meanwhile, we saw all the tips and trends for textured hair at The Hair Summit, enjoyed a balayage refresh with Goldwell, and got a new look with Great Lengths (think pink!). Plus, we jetted to Cannes for the L’Oréal Professionnel Paris Portfolio Summit and Berlin for Schwarzkopf Professional’s Hair Festival!
