Remember, this is an immersive event where you are free to walk among the show teams (no stages, it’s all on the flat) and watch up close, admire and ask questions. This show is a platform to celebrate the best skills and to inspire you all to continue the reputation of British hairdressing as the best in the world.

What a line-up
Toni&Guy Artistic Team will be headed by Efi Davies, presenting Darja Laett and Lucia Sierro. Both are educators at the Toni&Guy Academy. You may recall Darja won The Up&Coming One 2023 and went on to pick up the Avant-Garde title at the British Hairdressing Awards., Lucia equally collected the Newcomer title, and has a great portfolio of work.
Sassoon Academy is joining us for the first time. We can’t wait to see Zsolt Nagy in action as he takes the lead on presenting this iconic team’s latest looks. We’re promised epic styling – with signature looks such as these…

Oribe Creatives join us for a second season by demand. Kathryn Dartnell (Oribe National Artist) is a firm favourite of the Hair Pieces audience. She’s working alongside the fabulous Nicole Pizer ( Oribe Brand Specialist), and guest artist Michelle Grande at Garande Academy, a hair educator and specialist in Afro and multi-textured hair.
Billi Currie is a renowned artistic influence in hairdressing. Billi himself and partner Debbie Gee will be creating an installation story for us at Hair Pieces, leaning into the drama of the building itself. Compelling and sophisticated… unmissable. Davide Spinelli Education is coming for you … we welcome this particular expertise and aesthetic as Davide joins us at Hair Pieces for the first time. His career includes time as an educator and member of the artistic team at Trevor Sorbie among other prestigious roles. This is your chance to see him in person and enjoy his creative work.

Darrel Starkey Wigtorship is another debut for Hair Pieces. Salon owner Darrel is passionate, and accomplished at making wigs… and how! From dramatic shapes, volume and texture, Darrel goes extra in all ways. We’ll have a display of striking hair pieces and invite our man to show how he creates, places and finishes these stunning pieces.
