Hair Festival

Hair Festival is a two-day event dedicated entirely to the professional hair industry, held annually at Sydney’s International Convention Centre. Designed around four pillars—Shop, Learn, Compete, and Connect—the festival offers a full program of activities for hair professionals of all levels. The festival floor is home to a bustling expo where brands showcase the latest in products, tools, extensions, and salon technology. Education is a major drawcard, with seminars, workshops, and live demonstrations led by industry leaders covering everything from cutting and colouring techniques to business growth strategies. Competitions bring energy to the main stage, with stylists competing in categories spanning creative cuts, colour work, and bridal styling. Networking is encouraged throughout the event, whether in formal sessions or through casual meet-ups. The festival concludes with the much-anticipated Wonderland party—an evening of entertainment, themed styling, and celebration overlooking Sydney Harbour. Hair Festival is both a learning opportunity and a celebration of the craft, giving professionals a space to explore trends, gain skills, and connect with their community in one dynamic weekend.
