Applications are now open for the ghd Style Squad 2025, an opportunity for emerging stylists to join a unique mentorship programme.

With 10 coveted spots up for grabs, the ghd Style Squad is a money-can’t-buy chance for young, up-and-coming talents to unlock career-defining experiences and sharpen their craft.

Have you seen the new ghd wide plate styler?

Open to stylists currently doing NVQ Level 2 or 3 (or equivalent) or those in their first two years of hairdressing, the programme offers exposure, mentoring, and a host of exciting opportunities such as global and UK launch events, photoshoots, and hands-on education from top industry pros like James Earnshaw and Michelle Thompson.

The successful team will receive full ghd product training, work together on creative challenges, and attend exclusive inspiration days with mentorship from the ghd education team and guest artists.

They'll also enjoy front-row access at brand events and activations. Plus, they'll have the chance to showcase their talent on major projects.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to launch this year’s UK&I Style Squad mentorship program! It’s an incredible opportunity for up-and-coming hairstylists to refine their skills, unleash their creativity, and gain invaluable industry experience. I can’t wait to see the talent this year brings – good luck to everyone applying!” said Sarah Dixon, ghd key account educator and ghd Style Squad mentor.
