The Salon International team is proud to have delivered a successful edition of our annual event, the Salon International Expo, which took place over the first weekend of September at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand. This industry happening saw a plethora of hairdressing pros converge on the venue to be exposed to the latest products and technologies from leading suppliers. There was also a Live Hair Stage with exciting events, as well as the inaugural Barber Connect. The latter is a platform for professional barbers to connect and learn from each other. You can read all about the show, which ran alongside our sister event, Professional Beauty Johannesburg, in the lead news story in this issue.
