There are so many good reasons why hair professionals should visit trade shows. These include being exposed to the latest products and technologies from leading brands, as well as the chance to interact with suppliers directly. And, an event populated with likeminded individuals also gives you the opportunity to network among your own kind, to share stories and advice. Furthermore, there is always a plethora of exciting demos and live events for you to attend at such shows. All the above is true of the Salon International Expo, which runs on 3 & 4 September at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand. So be sure and register now to avoid paying an entrance fee on the day.

In this issue, we are delighted to feature the collections of two South African stylists – namely Candice McKay and Salomé de Wet. There is nothing like a bit of local creativity to get one feeling inspired.

As you may have noticed – the whole world has gone Barbiecore mad, courtesy of the ‘Barbie’ live action movie. So, Salon International couldn’t resist including two articles devoted to the aesthetic of Barbie’s signature colour, pink. It’s quite true that at the moment, pink rules!

Enjoy the read!
