Hair Expo一如往常將在周末舉行，往年GenNext和Hair Expo Awards都分別舉行於週日與周一，今年為了創造更浩大的美髮慶典，大會將其合併。周一的Hair Expo Awards典禮加入GenNext的表演，讓頒獎環節更具娛樂效果。

2019的年度澳洲髮型師、年度紐西蘭髮型師都將帶來表演，此外還將有三個美髮產業後起之秀團隊為活動帶來更多高潮。對GenNext的三支表演團隊來說，這是個難能可貴的機會、難以用金錢來衡量！他們將在世界舞台上向全球觀眾展現自身才華與創造性，對未來的職涯帶來無限可能。

如此改變的目的是為了讓產業未來領導人、崛起的新一代設計師匯集一起，感受Hair Expo Awards的魔力、讓他們有機會在聚光燈之下被看見。「這新形式將為美髮學徒和新朋友製造更多的可能性，他們來到這裡感受Hair Expo Awards，在同一個空間裡感受那些具代表性的人物被授予大獎的那一幕，新一代設計師們會知道，這圈子能賦予他們職涯的東西是超乎先前所想的！我們為這精采絕倫的盛事感到驕傲，一起迎接新篇章吧！」 Hair Expo Awards製作人Elli Julia表示。

Hair Expo將給予產業新秀更優惠的門票價格，觀秀位置有不同選擇，早鳥票是75美元。決賽入圍者、表演團隊、受邀嘉賓則可使用大會準備的門票。

GenNext and the Hair Expo Awards, which traditionally take place on the Sunday and Monday evenings of the Hair Expo long weekend, respectively, will now merge together to create one colossal celebration of hairdressing that motivates and supports the future of the industry.

Set to take place on the Monday evening of Hair Expo, the bigger and better event will now be known as Hair Expo Awards ft. GenNext, and will sustain the traditional Hair Expo Awards format with added entertainment and main acts. The previous years’ Australian and New Zealand Hairdressers of the Year will share show stopping performances, and three theatrical GenNext shows will be brought to you by rising stars in the industry.

The new format is derived from the goal of elevating the industry’s future leaders and the next generation of hair heroes by giving them exposure to the industry’s night of nights, as they experience the magic of the Hair Expo Awards and have their chance to step in to the spotlight.

The three GenNext teams will also benefit from the new awards platform, as they are set to perform in front of an audience of global hair luminaries. This is a money-can’t-buy opportunity to demonstrate their dexterity and creativity to top industry players and has the potential to lead to future mentorship or employment opportunities

“This well received new format will create inclusivity and accessibility for apprentices and the up and comers in our industry, as they will now have the chance to feel the exhilarating atmosphere as the Hair Expo Awards unfold. To be in the same room as some of the most iconic names in hairdressing will give them a glimpse into the incredible opportunities a career in hairdressing can provide. We are honoured and proud to share this new chapter of our fabulous awards,” said Elli Julia, Awards Producer at Hair Expo Australia.

A lower cost ticketing option will be available for these rising stars, which will feature tiered seating for a very special Early Bird price of $75. Traditional banquet tickets will still be available for finalists, teams and esteemed guests.
