HAIR & THERE

Last month, HJ got up to loads of fun and exciting things we just couldn’t miss! We headed into London for an OLAPLEX Kit Bag Top-Up Day where we got a sneak peek at the latest launches coming up. Meanwhile, we jetted to Dublin for the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Ireland Grand Final and Las Vegas with Redken for the brand’s 51st Symposium! Head to our Instagram to take a look at all the highlights. Plus, we travelled to Manchester with Wella Professionals to celebrate their 25th birthday. And we were so lucky to be invited to Soho House for an intimate breakfast with Remi Cachet and founder Victoria Lynch, an evening of canapés, cocktails and live music with Cloud Nine to celebrate the launch of their brand new professional platform, Nurture+ and a K18 FutureIQ Longevity Appointment at AEVUM Salon with Tom Smith.

This month HJ asked you...
