Concentrated sectoral know-how and inspiring shows featuring top-notch presenters – these are the ingredients that go into the unique supporting programme at TOP HAIR – DIE MESSE Düsseldorf running on 10 and 11 March. In Halls 4, 5 and 6 visitors to Europe’s leading hairdressing fair can deepen their practical knowledge in the field on not one but several show stages, they can glean exclusive business knowledge from international greats in the sector as well as familiarise themselves with the latest collections, products, tools of the trade, techniques and colours in live stagings. And not just at the TOP HAIR Congress, the Schnittfabrik or in the workshops. Barbers’ Corner in Hall 4 and the large catwalk in Hall 6 both offer a top-class stage line-up featuring a wide array of highlights.

This year Hall 6 will become probably the largest hairdressing salon in the sector. With an impressive show stage and seating for some 2,000 spectators the largest hall at Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre will, for the first time now, provide the backdrop for the unique TOP HAIR Shows. Things kick off on the catwalk on Saturday at 4.15 pm and on Sunday at 10.30 am. The top-notch line-up traditionally forms a who’s who of the sector, amongst others including the up-do legend Patrick Cameron from New Zealand, the Australian star hairdresser Kevin Murphy (Art.School), the international team from Toni&Guy (“FUTUREWISE”), Goldwell (ICONO “Renew”), the team from P.A.M. college from Mannheim featuring the Redken artists Marco Arena and Justin Isaac (Redken Shades EQ) as well as Keller the School from Stuttgart together with J.7 School and Kertu (L’Oréal Professionnel).

10 March will see an absolute highlight in the form of the elaborately staged Saturday night show on the catwalk in Hall 6 – this year featuring the top-notch team from Sebastian Professional. From 8.00 pm Creative Visionary Robert Lobetta, Global Artistic Director Shay Dempsey and the multiple prize-winning international artist Angelo Vallillo will present the Spring/Summer collection “e-VOLUTION” in Europe for the first time before the legendary TOP HAIR party then gets into full swing. Live Music Connection and DJ Pablo will treat the guests to a large repertoire of songs crossing a wide variety of genres deep into the night.

Ahead of the big show on Saturday evening at 6.15 pm the winners will be announced on the catwalk in Hall 6. Here the hairdressing trade magazine TOP HAIR International will, for the 22nd time, honour Germany’s “TOP Salons” in five categories: Best Practice (tradition, consistent success and continued further development), Concept (innovative business models), Design (award-winning interior design), Employer (talent recruitment and training) and Marketing (exceptional marketing).
