Europe's Leading Event for Hairdressing Professionals 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Salon International 2026, what an incredible, high-energy, and resounding success! Over two bustling days on 4–5 October at Excel London, the global hairdressing community came together in force to connect, create, and be inspired. Adding even more value to the weekend, the show was co-located alongside Professional Beauty London.

Thousands of professionals attended, including stylists, barbers, colourists, salon owners, educators, and students, all coming together to explore new innovations and elevate their craft.

Throughout the venue, six free live stages featured continuous demonstrations of cutting-edge techniques. Those looking to sharpen their creative skills joined our immersive Salon Live and Masterclass sessions led by top industry talent, while salon owners focused on commercial growth found practical guidance inside the dedicated Business Hub. Visitors also took time to admire the British Hairdressing Awards Gallery, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional, which showcased exceptional work from the BHA26 finalists.

With over 250 brands, live product demonstrations, and thrilling competitions, the show floor maintained an electric atmosphere from start to finish. Thank you to everyone who took part, we couldn't have done it without you!
