Hair Festival puts you at centre of all things hair. In its 5th year, the all-encompassing two-day event is a sophisticated convergence of hairdressing artistry, innovation and business intelligence. It is where trends are born, brand tribes unite, and hairdressers come to reconnect, recharge and reignite their purpose. Hair Festival is not just Australia’s largest hair event – it’s the annual reminder of why you fell in love with the industry in the first place.
Join more than 7,500 industry peers when it returns to the ICC, Sydney on Sunday 28 June and Monday 29 June 2026.
