Fresha appoints first Head of Hair Education

Booking platform Fresha has named British Men's Hairdresser of the Year Josh Lamonaca as its first Head of Hair Education.

Co‑founder of the Menspire brand, Josh Lamonaca will shape Fresha's worldwide approach to technical training, commercial development and community‑led learning initiatives.

James Hayward-Browne, Fresha's Head of Brand and Marketing at Fresha, says:

“Josh brings a rare mix of credibility: an award-winning career, real experience building and educating teams at Menspire, and a clear belief in what this industry can become. That perspective is critical when you're building technology used by millions of professionals worldwide. Our role is to provide the infrastructure; Josh's role is to help raise the ceiling for everyone using it.”

Commenting on his new role, Josh Lamonaca, adds:

“I've almost got everything I wanted out of this industry without any real support. Now, with the backbone of Fresha, it excites me to see how far beyond my own achievements we can take this industry.

“Honestly, I want to see millionaires come through hairdressing. And with the ambitions I've seen from inside Fresha, I want to stand beside professionals on innovative ideas and future goals.”
