#SALON25: THE REVIEW

THERE WAS SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO, SO CHANCES ARE YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED SOMETHING AT #SALON25… BUT THANKFULLY OUR REVIEW HAS ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS

HEADLINE SPONSOR

THE NEW LOOK HJ STAGE
CROWDS FOR DAYS

With even more live education, stages and launches than ever before, this year was a stellar Salon International with 34,519 unique visitors across the three days. We had an amazing array of brands, both loyal mainstays and brand new.

We also introduced the Textured Hair Stage, sponsored by Avlon Professional, which welcomed hair experts from the Afro/textured hair arena. Elsewhere, the HJ in Conversation With Stage was back for its second year bigger and better for a live recording and filming of our podcast's second season.

We loved seeing all the fresh talent on the HJ Academy Stage which was all about nurturing up and coming talent, plus stylists at the top of their game appeared on the iconic HJ Stage, the Colour Stage and the Modern Barber stage to demonstrate their skills and share the looks that they think will shape 2026.

Our Salon Masterclasses were a riot of education and entertainment, and the Business Live Seminars covered industry-relevant topics including what the new change in employment law means for business, how to recruit top talent and how to grow your business with the savviest software tools on the market.

Did you see the #BHAGallery, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional, and vote for your favourite image? Relive your best moments on the following pages and by searching #Salon25 on socials.

Weren't there this year? Well, we'll see you for next year's exhibition which will be – breaking news – a two-day extravaganza on Sunday 4 October and Monday 5 October.
