Concept Hair Roadshow comes to Walsall College

Over 100 student hairdressers and barbers at Walsall College attended an industry roadshow on campus hosted by Concept Hair.

A carousel of live product demos took place, followed by a marketplace activity where brand representatives had their own stalls.  These gave learners the opportunity to explore products up close, see creativity and innovation in action and gain career advice from a range of experts.

Leading brands involved included L’Oreal Professionnel, Matrix, Pulp Riot, Diva Pro, Denman and The Fellowship.

Demonstrations were held on hair colouring and blow drying services.

Joanne Small, Curriculum Manager for Hair and Beauty at the college said: “The roadshow was a fantastic experience for all our students and the teaching team.  It reinforced the importance of continually exploring new ideas and techniques with guidance from a cross section of the industry.”

She continued: “Concept Hair is already a huge source of inspiration and training support for us.  Many of our students’ work has been featured online and in their publications over the years.  Our student, Amelia was also named their Learner of the Year back in April.

“Their additional insights and the meaningful conversations our students had with the different brands at their own stands will definitely motivate everyone to keep learning and practising at their professional best in future.”
