HAIR & THERE
Last month, HJ were invited to lots of industry events! We went to Claridge’s for breakfast with salon owner, Gustav Fouche. We got access to Curls, Coils and Cashflow – an event spotlighting textured hairstylists and beauty entrepreneurs during Black History Month, spent the morning at Hadley Yates with Hair Gain to celebrate the launch of their new Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner and attended the Wella TrendVision Awards at The Natural History Museum! Plus, we travelled to Paris for the BaBylissPRO Community Hair Show, and flew to Milan with JOICO for their 50th anniversary! Meanwhile, we had the pleasure of attending the Wella RED Leadership Luncheon at TART London. And of course, we were at Salon International 2025 – take a look at all the highlights on page 35. As always, keep an eye on our social channels for more content.
