Industry Visits to London: Hair & Beauty students enjoy Salon International

Last week, our Hair & Beauty students had an exciting opportunity to go to ExCeL London for the 2024 Salon International.

Salon International is one of the largest and most prestigious hairdressing exhibitions in the UK, attracting hairstylists, salon owners, barbers, and industry professionals from around the world to celebrate the latest trends and innovations in the industry.

The aim of the exhibition is for professionals to discover new and upcoming trends, share their industry knowledge, and network with experts.

This year, our Hair & Beauty students enjoyed a range of live demonstrations from industry experts such as Darren Ambrose, Nicky Clarke and Daniel Granger; toured exhibitions from the likes of Schwarzkopf Professional, Indola Exclusively Professional, WAHL, Dyson, K18 Biomimetric Hairscience, Revlon Professional and BaBylissPRO; and had the opportunity to attend educational seminars about the future of freelancing and training to work with all hair textures.

“It's always so exciting and inspirational for our students to visit industry exhibitions. They love to soak up the industry buzz and shop for the latest products and equipment to kickstart their journey into the world of hairdressing.” – Nikki Samuels, Curriculum Manager
