In March 2024 Düsseldorf will become the focal point of the hairdressing industry once again. For two days, the latest hairstyling trends and most spectacular hairstylists will be celebrated, and the salon business will be given a boost. The TOP HAIR trade fair is THE event of the hairstyling sector in Europe with its unique combination of trade exhibition, high-quality and flamboyant stage shows, workshops and congress lectures as well as ample room for sectoral networking. Under the heading “ROCK YOUR HEAD” a comprehensive line-up of hairdressing supplies, professional hair care, hair cosmetics, professional furnishings and services will be on show in three exhibition halls, with a clear separation between order-only and direct-selling segments.
“TOP HAIR – DIE MESSE is a unique platform placing the variety and innovations in the hairdressing industry in the limelight and transferring plenty of hands-on knowledge. We are proud of being able – together with our partner TOP HAIR International GmbH – to provide the industry with an event that links top trends and top quality with a fair share of entertainment,” says Hannes Niemann, Director of TOP HAIR – Die Messe.
Packed programme and highlights galore for the hairdressing industry
Currently, the organisers are already “in a frenzy” working on the programme. One highlight of TOP HAIR are the shows where the international best-in-class coiffure artists stage elegant hairstyles and breath-taking fashion in elaborate stage shows and choreographies. Guaranteed to be amazing will be the show by the “God of Up-Dos”, Patrick Cameron from New Zealand; he will celebrate his ten-year anniversary at TOP HAIR on the most spectacular catwalk in the industry. The congress in Hall 16 promises to deliver talks with deep dives into the hairdressing business and shed light on the industry’s current issues. The topics already set include self-worth and pricing, addressed by hairdresser Thomas Langer or AI in hairdressers’ marketing by Peter Gress. HR consultant Nicole Kremer and TOP Salon winner David Schwarz will talk about how to recruit quality staff; Zita Langenstein will speak about service quality and explain why complaints can even be fun. Christoph Filser will demonstrate smart tools for digital salons. In addition, a community of hairdressers for hairdressers will be presented. The around 60 workshops will blend continuing education with inspirations and entertainment. On the three workshop stages this skilled craft will be celebrated, trends will be created, and know-how shared for two days. The buzzwords are Soft Waves, Strong Colours, Cool Cuts and Men’s Styling – and hair professionals will strike it rich here. The programme is continuously updated: so read more at www.top-hair-international.com.
ROCK YOUR HEAD for the Oceans: collect hair to fight marine litter
Hair is not just an adornment – it can even save our oceans! For the first time HAIR HELP the Oceans and TOP HAIR will jointly collect the hair disposed of on all stages, because this company has developed an innovative process to free oceans and lakes from oil waste. To this end, they produce tubes from the hair collected at hairdressers’, which then filter oils, fats and even sun cream from the sea. More details on this exciting project will be announced by the company at the trade fair.
TOP Salon – The Challenge 2024
For over 20 years the trade journal TOP HAIR International has annually recognised the best hairdressing salons in the TOP Salon – The Challenge. For the second consecutive time now, awards will be presented not just to the TOP Salons in Germany but also in Austria and Switzerland. In this the only independent business challenge for the hairdressing sector, the Salons compete for awards in five categories: Employer, Eco Future, Design, Digital Business and Best Practice. Three contestants are nominated in each category – and the Salon teams will only find out who gets to take home the highly coveted cup at the grand award ceremony on the show stage on Saturday, 23 March 2024.
