It’s almost here! The 2009 Hair Expo opens in a mere matter of weeks. With all the big names in the business bringing their expertise to the floor, it will be a sea of familiar faces and the cream of the international crop when the doors open at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre on the 6th of June. Tickets are selling fast, with two seminars already sold out.

Julia Erben, Hair Expo Event Director, says: 

“It seems the great exhibitor line-up – including Schwarzkopf Professional, Goldwell, Matrix and Aveda – is really drawing in the crowd. With both Mahogany and TONI&GUY bringing their international creative teams to educate exclusively at Hair Expo, we’re looking forward to another superb festival of hairdressing. At the moment, ticket sales for the exhibition are tracking well above 2008 figures – so make sure you reserve your seat!”

The program of brands and talent in 2009 is huge, with top stylists from around the globe heading to Sydney for the show-stopping event. Check out newcomers Aveda, as well as Eco Hair, UK F.A.M.E., Goldwell, Matrix, Ozdare and Schwarzkopf as they present the newest from their collections.

International artists not to miss are Mahogany UK, TONI&GUY International, Kevin Murphy and the American Crew All Stars, who are all showcasing their award winning creativity in seminars over the Expo weekend. Free glimpses of some seminar artists’ collections can also be seen on the Hair Expo Stage. 

Right in the thick of the exhibition floor, the Hair Expo Stage will feature a vast program of stage-exclusive talent. Adam Noble, Karine Jackson, Shane Henning and artists from Goldwell will be demonstrating their expertise to all Expo visitors.

The opening gala on Saturday night sees Jayne Wild show why she stands in the number one spot, with TONI&GUY International presenting the latest trends from the northern hemisphere.

On Sunday night it’s Generation Next, with the acclaimed international Matrix star Boris Wong as the main act. 2009 also presents the hottest young local and international stars in the hairdressing industry including award winning New Zealand salons, and the UK F.A.M.E. team bringing the freshest looks straight from the streets of London. 

The culmination of the weekend is the Schwarzkopf Professional Hair Expo Awards ceremony, dinner and after party on Monday June 8. The wait for winners across the 13 categories will finally be over and Jayne Wild’s crown of Australian Hairdresser of the Year will be passed on.
