Hairdressing is so much more than just sweeping floors and washing hair—that’s just the start of an incredible journey. Under the hair umbrella, the opportunities are endless. You can work in film, theatre, and fashion, build a career as a celebrity stylist, own your own successful business, or travel the world as part of creative teams for global brands.

Yet, 71% of hairdressing apprentices leave the industry before qualifying—many simply because they don’t see the bigger picture. This event is all about inspiring apprentices to stay and thrive. With 200 free tickets available, apprentices will have the chance to hear from industry leaders, uncover exciting opportunities, and reignite their passion for hairdressing.

Our goal? To show them that hairdressing isn’t just a job—it’s a career full of possibilities that can take them anywhere they dream of. Let’s inspire the next generation of hairdressers—and current professionals—to see the bigger picture and discover where their craft can take them.
