Salon International展會現場總是充滿無限創意的激發，今年各大廠商如造型工具BaByliss Professional、ghd、Wahl依然搶先進駐並帶來一連串的髮型秀及技術實操，而知名品牌Colour Placement Systems﹑Denman、Diva Professional Styling、Envy Hair、Future Talent powered by L’Oreal Professionnel、Matrix and Redken、Sassoon Academy、Tangle Teezer與TONI&GUY皆設有攤位，帶來許多新奇、首創的產品與服務。

What an amazing three days we had! With so much to see and do, visitors from all over the world were spoilt for choice. The atmosphere was electric with show-stopping presentations on the BaByliss Professional, Fellowship, ghd, HJ and Wahl stages along with educational demonstrations on the Colour Placement Systems, Denman, Diva Professional Styling, Envy Hair, Future Talent powered by L’Or?al Professionnel, Matrix and Redken, Sassoon Academy, Tangle Teezer and TONI&GUY stands leaving visitors educated, motivated and inspired.

本次最受矚目的攤位莫過於轟動全球的Olaplex，他們邀請到在社群網路上紅遍天的Guy Tang 親自示範Olaplex的神奇效果，Guy Tang還分享了許多從未透漏的編髮技巧或是美髮秘訣。

Olaplex brought internet sensation Guy Tang to London and the exhibition for the very first time where he showcased their three-step system which was an outstanding success with visitors who took to social media using his #hairbesties to share his work. Attendees made the most of the fantastic shopping opportunities available, with many exhibitors including Kerastraight and Innoluxe selling out of products. Kent Brushes showed traditional brush making methods on their stand alongside a wide range of professional and retail brushes. Business opportunities, tools and packages were well served by companies such as Barber in a Box and Electric Hair along with the many software companies represented by i-Salon, Phorest, Salon Advantage Systems, Salon Genius, Salon Iris, Salon Partner, Secure POS and Shortcuts.

The ever-popular Hair Tools stand continued to offer all types of salon accessories and tools, and, as always, Salon Supplies continued to inject fun into the proceedings with their mini golf course, where visitors could take a break from shopping and compete to win some fantastic prizes. The latest in furniture innovations were found on the Maletti, McCann Styling Chair, LSE, REM and Takara Belmont stands along with a wide variety of handmade furniture at the Cronus Barber Shop Furniture stand. Any visitors looking for new scissors were spoilt for choice as all the scissor exhibitors at the event had such fantastic ranges and exclusive Salon International deals on offer.

今年Hair Journal首度舉辦的HJ Hair Heroes stage提供觀眾難得的機會能在現場一聽傳奇髮型師們最原汁原味的訪問，受訪對象包括Darren Ambrose、Patrick Cameron、Mark Hayes, Tim Hartley、Mark Leeson、Paul Stafford和Akin Konizi等人。

HJ’s Hair Heroes stage provided visitors with an exclusive opportunity to get to know their industry icons better when a member of the HJ team interviewed Darren Ambrose, Beverley C, Patrick Cameron, Karen and Charles Dodds, Errol Douglas, Bruno Marc Giamattei, Colin Greaney, Mark Hayes, Tim Hartley, Gary Hooker and Michael Young, Nick Irwin, Zoe Irwin, Mark Leeson, Paul Stafford, Akin Konizi, Richard Ward and Mark Woolley.

而本屆的British Hairdressing Awards英國美髮大賽藝廊不意外的是整個展場人氣最旺的區域，觀展民眾能搶先看到今年精湛的入圍作品，最終的得獎者名單已於11月23日晚間公布。
