HAIR EXPO IS an annual,<br />
three-day extravaganza<br />
that brings together the best<br />
brands and products from<br />
the hairdressing industry.<br />
Rounded off with world-class<br />
education and featuring the<br />
best local and international<br />
talent over the June long<br />
weekend, it’s an affair that is locked into the calendars and the hearts<br />
well in advance for hair lovers seeking inspiration and a sense of<br />
family like no other.<br />
This year, it will be held at the International Convention Centre<br />
Sydney (ICC Sydney), starting on June 8.<br />
In anticipation to the lead-up of the jam-packed long weekend,<br />
<strong>INSTYLE</strong> held a roundtable with some of the icons of our industry.<br />
The general consensus was that Hair Expo always was, and<br />
continues to be, the number one source of networking and<br />
inspiration for apprentices and experts alike.<br />

helped shape their careers.<br />
