HAIR FESTIVAL: SESSIONS

WE DELIVER YOUR BONA FIDE GUIDE TO MUST-EXPERIENCE HAIR FESTIVAL 2022 EDUCATION.

While the novelty of some of our new year’s resolutions may have worn off already (we see you Activity Rings), there is one resolution that’s not too late to get started. Most of us in some way have committed to being a better, bolder, and brighter version of ourselves in 2022, especially after a difficult few years. There’s never been a better time to brush the dust off and make this year our best yet – enter essential education at Hair Festival 2022.

Commit to joining us at Hair Festival on June 12 and 13 2022, and take advantage of the opportunities to learn and hone your skills from the best of the best. Hair Festival, the highly anticipated event in the hair industry calendar, is taking place at Sydney’s Carriageworks over the June long weekend. The festival will have a range of experiences and opportunities for you to Shop, Learn, Compete, Connect. Most importantly the event will play host to an incredible line-up of education sessions so that you can take your career goals to the next level. This is not your average classroom; a ticket to the Hair Festival Education Sessions gives you direct access to learn from the industry’s best and brightest.

Hear from the experts as they offer their tips for success. If you’re creative, you may want to attend a class on the latest trends in your area of expertise. You might be looking for advice on how to promote your work or grow your business. Or maybe you just want to network with others like you who have something to offer each other. In short, there is an education session for everyone.

Damien Rinaldo is one of Australia’s best hairdressers. He’s won Australian Hairdresser of the Year three times and his work is most at home on the covers of magazines, fashion shows, or on the red carpet. Safe to say when Damien talks, we listen. Presented by Dyson, Damien will teach you how to solve real-world hair care problems – like protecting hair from heat damage while keeping the natural smoothness and shine. Sign us up!

De Lorenzo, the creative experts in hair design and colouring, who are renowned for their award-winning education, will be joining forces with Pixel Hairdressing to offer a creative masterclass in cutting headlined by ‘Mullet Mommy’ Laura Spinney whose work you’ve seen on The Pussycat Dolls and Detox. Winner of Australian Hair Industry Awards Hot Shots Rising Male title, Ryan King, and Australia’s only Pixel colour Educator, Angela Soong, take the lead on this inspiring class.

He is a co-founder of Elite Hair Education and the author of the guide, Pricing your Services.

Salons are using social media for business, but what’s the point of having a strategy if you don’t have the right people in place? Join James Fitzgerald, the Executive Director of Programming at SMK, and explore how social media learning and development is the go-to for smart businesses wanting to make smarter use of social and digital channels.

The Hair Festival’s Education Program is made up of 10 different sessions and a range of classes, designed to suit a variety of learning styles and career paths. We’ve created sessions for both your business and creative sides. There will be time for networking and Q&As, as well as hands-on demonstrations. You have the flexibility to book for an individual class – but we know you won’t be able to pick just one so there’s also a discounted multi-class ticket available.

Looking for more? You should check out our Real Talk program for salon owners. Featuring a line-up of internationally and locally renowned keynote speakers, you will walk away inspired, motivated, thinking differently and with a clearer vision to take your business to the next level.

If you want to be the best in your industry, you have to learn from the best. Whether it’s attending an education session, panel discussion, or exploring what’s new on offer in Market Place, the program is jam-packed with opportunities to learn and grow in your career. Book your tickets, let your hair down and prepare for a weekend of inspiration and education.
