The UK’s leading hairdressers and barbers are landing at ExCeL London on 29 to 30 March for HJ Live London.
The show is completely free and is guaranteed to give you a dose of inspiration that will kickstart your year. We checked in with some of the teams to see why they love the show...
HJ Stage in Association with the Fellowship for British Hairdressing
The HJ Stage in association with the Fellowship for British Hairdressing gives you an exclusive opportunity to get up close to some of the biggest and most creative names in the British hairdressing industry. You’ll see the latest trends, new techniques and will learn how to recreate the iconic styles your clients ask for time and again the salon.
Russell Eaton Team
"We’re passionate about education and sharing the techniques and stories that go into our work. This year is even more exciting for us, with Robert Eaton as
HJ’s reigning
British Hairdresser of the Year. In our show, we’ll showcase some of the work that goes into our award-winning collections – we can’t wait to give the audience an insight into how to fuse technically brilliant hair with beautiful, trend-led results with mass appeal.”
Jamie Stevens Hair Team
“Our award-winning team are renowned for our skills across all hair textures, vibrant colours and shows with the wow factor. The
Jamie Stevens Hair brand of training has nurtured home-grown talent, including Newcomer of the Year
Alex Morton. Engaging and entertaining, we believe our show will be a must-see for anyone visiting HJ Live London.”
Desmond Murray
I'll be working with the amazing Joshua Woodman who is the Stage Star winner to create a collection and a live show will be amazing. There’s nothing like working with new, raw talent. He’s got such great ideas and real vision and I’m chuffed to bits to be able to help him make those ideas a reality. It’s going to be an amazing show!”
Georgia Bell
“I love performing at the HJ Live shows as it’s something more creative away from the salon. It’s great to inspire an audience and to come together in a setting that’s all about collaboration as opposed to competition.”
Jordanna Cobella
“I get motivated by movements; political or social. It’s what gives me a deeper commitment to a project and helps keep my photographic work unique. I love to evoke emotion or at least a sense of curiosity through my collections and live shows.”
Headmasters Pro Artistic Team
“We’re dedicated to taking the hottest trends and translating them into beautiful, wearable styles for the salon floor. We work on prestigious events such as London Fashion Week, Graduate Fashion Week and numerous catwalk shows, plus editorial shoots from Elle to ID and The Sunday Times Style to RED. Taking these skills we teach literally thousands of hairdressers in the UK and across the globe as well as working with numerous celebrities and influencers, while maintaining very busy salon columns and we can’t wait to share this expertise with you at HJ Live London.”
Lexie Shay Rabbett
“Educating is something I am super passionate about. Doing live shows is the most exhilarating yet terrifying thing I've ever done but I love every minute of it! Expressing my knowledge that I’ve picked up during my career is an absolute blessing. Knowledge shouldn't be locked away but shared to help make the world a beautiful and more colourful place!”
HARE & BONE Art Team
“We’re a multi-award-winning salon collective based in London’s West End. We’re renowned within the industry for our instinctive fashion-focused and trend conscious style. Our Philosophy and 360° Techtrilogy education is driven with the hairstylist and consumer in mind and we look forward to sharing our technically creative cuts and colour with editorial styling at HJ Live London.”
Karoliina Saunders
“I spend a lot of time learning and investing in my own education. I’m also very privileged to work alongside some amazingly talented and creative stylists when I join the teams on the fashion week circuit. I love performing at HJ Live London because it gives me the opportunity to take pieces of knowledge I’ve picked up and to share those techniques with others.”
Mark Woolley
“I would describe Electric as an exciting, innovative, British, independent and authentic brand. Our show at HJ Live London will enable you to immerse yourself in our energy and creativity, while learning new techniques with an editorial and directional feel.”
Marlene Lamont
“I’m so excited to be taking to the HJ Live Stage with such amazing talent and sharing lots of creativity with everyone. It’s such an honour and a privilege because my philosophy is that an expert in anything was once a beginner and hairdressers should never stop learning.”
TONI&GUY Creative Team
“Come to HJ Live London and see the styles from members of the award-winning TONI&GUY creative team. North Western Hairdresser of the Year Jon Wilsdon, Trend Image of the Year winner Federico Patelli and Men’s Hairdresser of the Year Jim Shaw will be presenting looks from their award-winning collections, talking about techniques, trends and how to get the look. TONI&GUY are stalwarts of HJ Live London and looking forward to presenting in the exciting and lively environment.”
Jonathan Andrew
“For me, there’s nothing like stage work. I’ve always loved the adrenaline, the buzz and the excitement I feel when on stage. I also find it’s a really great way to test where you are and push yourself forward. It’s the ideal opportunity to showcase your skills and share knowledge with others. This industry is amazing and events like HJ Live are the ideal opportunity to learn from others and also see what’s out there. Showcasing at exhibitions and on stage also helps to grow the industry as a whole. HJ Live is a wonderful event and I’m very honoured to be a part of it.”
