International Creative Director, Mark Hayes, will be leading the iconic Sassoon team at exciting new hair festival, HairCon.
Taking place from 22nd-24th June in the iconic O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, HairCon promises to be an unforgettable experience with a mind-blowing line-up of artists. Mark will be hosting a main House of Sassoon event on Sunday 23rd plus more.
For over 40 years, Mark Hayes has been inspiring hairdressers at Sassoon with his passionate approach to hair and his technical expertise. Mark’s signature style – a series of pared-down looks reflecting his love of modernist art and architecture – puts him at the forefront of global hair design, and his role as International Creative Director takes him all over the world coaching, teaching and inspiring.
Mark began his four decades long career with hair as an apprentice at the busy Sassoon Salon on South Molton Street, London in 1977. His yearly schedule now revolves around developing the seasonal collections and leading the worldwide demand for Sassoon Hair Design and is as excited today as he was on his first day.
Speaking of the opportunity, Mark said: “I take great pride in continuing the Sassoon legacy and now actively help mould the company and have the opportunity to create an energy and passion for hair in those around me. My goal is to give more people more creative opportunities more of the time. It has been an incredible journey so far”.
Mark and Sassoon will join an extraordinary line-up including Richard Ashforth’s Noise, Saco, Jack & the Wolfe, Heffy, SLK Bleach, Sally & Jamie Brooks, Desmond Murray and Errol Douglas along with the legendary barber heroes Alan Beak and Cal Newsome to name but a few.
