10 reasons why men’s hairdressers and barbers should visit salon international

Salon International offers loads for men's hairdressers and barbers - here's just 10 reasons why you should attend. 1 It’s all here! Sometimes you need to step outside your business to see what’s going on in the wider world. Hairdressers can discover the techniques that have put barbers at the top of their game and there is loads of inspiring content that barbers can take away with them from the latest trends to the most innovative styling products. 2 The HJ Stage. Once again the first two hours of every day on the HJ Stage will be dedicated to men’s hairdressing and barbering. It’s a packed and varied schedule, from unisex hairdressers to dedicated barbers. 3 It’s entertaining! Live stages across the show will feature men’s hairdressing content. Don’t miss the usually high octane stage antics of Simon Shaw and the Wahl artistic team, for example, or the latest in men’s styling from the likes of BaByliss Pro, TIGI, Toni & Guy and the Fellowship for British Hairdressing. 4 Get up close and personal with top talent. Smaller stages across the show allow you an even more intimate audience with some of the biggest names in barbering – watch out for men-ü, Denman, and Andis, to name but a few. 5 Pick up the latest products. Retail represents a massive opportunity in men’s hairdressing and Salon International is the ideal place to discover the latest and greatest haircare and styling ranges to take back to your men’s salon or barbers. 6 It’s even easier to find what you want.
