Cutting-edge creative hair event returns to Manchester

HairCon powered by Fresha returns to Manchester's O2 Victoria Warehouse in June bringing together world class creativity, education and culture across a weekend celebration of the professional hair and barbering industry.

The event, which is more festival than exhibition, features stage shows, immersive brand experiences, panel discussions, engaging demonstrations and entertainment long into the evening.

At the heart of the experience sits the HairCon Main Stage, where some of the biggest brands and most celebrated talent in the hair and barbering sectors come together to deliver high production shows and creative collaborations. Talent will work in partnership with an exciting mix of leading global brands and industry innovators. View the line-up revealed so far on the event website. 

With creativity, commerce and connection at its core, HairCon 2026 starts with the Invitation-only Opening Night on 13th June, setting the stage for two days welcoming the professional hair and barber community on 14th and 15th June.
