n Monday June 13 the Australian and New Zealand hair industry congregated at the International Convention Centre, Sydney, to celebrate the Australian Hair Industry Awards (Creative) 2022 gala and our hair community at large. The evening included inspiring hair fashion shows, the announcement of important industry winners, a tribute to the recently departed and dearly beloved Dennis Langford, and the requisite afterparty, all as a long awaited catch up and testament to the ever-evolving and incredibly talented salon industry. The AHIAs are in their tenth year, built from the acclaimed Business awards and now celebrating the sophomore outing of the Creative venture as well. These awards followed Hair Festival, which took place over Sunday and Monday at Carriageworks in Sydney, to reclaim the Queen’s Birthday long weekend for the hair industry, together restoring this significant legacy and opportunity for the hair community.
