Hello, and welcome to the very first edition of Mocha Hair Magazine!
This moment marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for us all. After 19 incredible years of Hair Biz, we are stepping into a new era with Mocha Hair—part of the unified Mocha Media family. This evolution represents not just a rebrand, but a reinvigoration of everything we stand for: celebrating creativity, fostering community, and championing the very best our industry has to offer.
And what better year to do it than 2025 as this year is extra special as we celebrate Mocha Group’s 20th Anniversary—two decades of supporting, inspiring, and connecting the hair, beauty, and barbering communities. From small beginnings to becoming a trusted name across print, digital, and events, Mocha has grown exponentially. Yet, through it all, we have stayed true to our core values of collaboration, innovation, celebration and unwavering support for this industry we love.
As we enter this new year, I’m struck by the sense of opportunity that comes with fresh starts. For many, 2024 was a challenging year, but we’ve emerged stronger, more resilient, and more determined to focus on what truly matters. At Mocha, we believe in the power of community over competition. When we collaborate, when we support each other, when we share ideas and lift each other up, we all rise together.
This is where your energy should flow: towards connection, growth, and purpose. One of my favourite guiding principles is the idea of “compound consistency”—those small, steady actions, repeated over time, create extraordinary results. Whether it’s perfecting your craft, building your business, or nurturing your personal growth, remember; consistency is the secret ingredient that transforms good into great.

Challenge yourself, step outside your comfort zone, and surround yourself with people who inspire you to be better.
This rebrand isn’t just about a fresh look, it’s about amplifying our shared voice and continuing to provide you with expert insights, trends, and creative inspiration. Mocha Hair is here to represent you, the visionaries, creators, and innovators who shape this incredible industry.
I couldn’t be prouder of our Mocha Family - the best team in the business, and of you, our readers, who make everything we do worthwhile. Here’s to a year of collaboration, creativity, and celebrating all that makes this industry thrive.
Together, let’s make 2025 unforgettable!
With love and gratitude,
