Head of Sector for Hair, Beauty & Make-up, Karen Stevenson commented, “We were excited to be hosting the event at SWG3, an iconic Glasgow venue and popular in our industry.

We were honoured and privileged to be showcasing alongside highly respected artists across hairdressing, beauty and makeup artistry.

The event was open to the public, to those working in our industry, college students and school pupils. This unique event provides an opportunity to get up close and watch the skills being performed over 3 main stages. There was a real buzz throughout the day with an amazing array of looks being created.

This was the place to be to learn from like minded stylists, artists, therapists and barbers.
