The doors of Gallagher Convention Centre opened on 31 August and 1 September to welcome thousands of beauty, hair, barbering and wellness professionals for Professional Beauty & Salon International 2025. This year’s expo brought the industry together in an unforgettable showcase of innovation, education, and creativity.

Here are some of the standout highlights:

Live Hair Stage

The Live Hair Stage drew packed audiences as top stylists and international educators unveiled breathtaking transformations. From cutting-edge colour to the latest styling trends, professionals left inspired and equipped with new techniques to bring back to their clients.

Professional Beauty Main Stage

The Main Stage offered a full spectrum of knowledge-sharing sessions, from beauty and skincare masterclasses to business growth strategies and digital marketing insights. Attendees walked away with actionable tools to stay competitive in a fast-changing market.

Brand-New WAHL Barber Feature Area

A major hit this year was the launch of the WAHL Barber Feature Zone. This interactive space kept the energy high with mannequin challenges, skill-testing games, engaging demos and hands-on learning. It quickly became a hotspot for both seasoned barbers and up-and-coming talent.

World Spa & Wellness Convention

Running under the theme Synchronicity Aligning Beauty, Wellness, and Technology for the Future, the World Spa & Wellness Convention brought together leading spa owners, wellness professionals, and international experts to explore the latest trends and challenges shaping the global spa industry. The Convention offered a world-class platform for learning, networking, and driving the spa and wellness sector forward.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to our exhibitors, sponsors, educators and every professional who joined us to make this year’s event such a success.

Professional Beauty & Salon International 2025 was more than an expo—it was a celebration of growth, creativity, and the future of our industry. We can’t wait to see you again next year!
