HAIR The Movement, Australia’s premier global hairdressing education event, will take place in Sydney from 14–16 September 2025.
The global hairdressing industry is about to witness a revolution: HAIR The Movement, a groundbreaking three-day event, promises to set a new standard in technical education and creative excellence. This landmark gathering brings world-class education and inspiration back to Australian shores—and it’s all happening in Sydney this September.
Founded by legendary hair artist Sharon Blain OAM, HAIR The Movement is more than an event—it’s a vision to unite, elevate, and future-proof the craft of hairdressing. With a career marked by global acclaim and an unrelenting passion for education, Blain’s mission is to empower the next generation of hair professionals. This inaugural event will feature a powerhouse lineup of 35 internationally acclaimed and Australian educators, 20 electrifying live demonstrations, and the Australian debut of Noise, a must-see underground hair show.
Why HAIR The Movement is Transformative
For years, hairdressers around the world have travelled overseas—spending thousands of dollars—to access world-class education. Now, HAIR The Movement is bringing the global stage to Sydney, offering an unmatched opportunity to learn from industry masters without leaving home. Hair professionals from all corners of the globe are invited to join. “This isn’t about fleeting trends or social media influence,” says founder Sharon Blain OAM. “This is about teaching pure, foundational skills—the kind that build lifelong careers. If we don’t invest in high-quality education, the industry will lose its artistry. HAIR The Movement is here to safeguard the future of hairdressing and give professionals the tools to thrive.”
This is education at its highest level—featuring advanced technical training in cutting, colouring, and styling, along with insider business insights and creative inspiration. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, power your artistry, or redefine your business approach, HAIR The Movement offers something for everyone.
