HairCon unveils the Social Stage: Bite size business for your success

HairCon continues to shake up hair and barber shows with announcement of the Social Stage. This exciting new spot will be hosting half hour bite-size business sessions to help grow your business as a business owner or individual professional.

Covering everything you need to know about social media; the key essentials for running a salon; to diversifying your services – we have something for everyone. The Social Stage will be a hotspot for visitors to get up close and personal with some of the most influential stylists and barbers making waves on social media.

Featured artists include James Earnshaw, Heffy, Jack Mead, Cal Newsome, Jay Roberts, SLK Bleach, and Senor Fenty. Sharing their insights, techniques, and personal journeys, this fab line-up will provide a unique opportunity to learn what drives their success. 

Additionally, the Social Stage will host talks from celebrated barbers such as Alan Beake, Dean Gleeson, Johnny BaBa, Josh Lamonaca, Sean Moore, JJ Savani, Captain Fawcett, and Rob Wood. These industry leaders will discuss the latest hot topics, offering their perspectives on the evolving landscape of barbering. Plus, we’ll have In Conversation interviews with industry legends, Nicky Clarke, Richard Ashforth and Jorge Cáncer. 

Visitors will also benefit from the presence of leading industry associations, including the National Hair & Beauty Federation, Salon Employers Association, and the Freelance Hair Association. These organisations will provide essential advice on current legislation and offer strategies to future-proof businesses in the ever-changing market.
