Want to be first to know who are the new names leading our industry into the future? The trailblazers who are doing things differently and better – sometimes in ways you might not expect? Then you need to book your place now – and certainly no later than 5pm on Wednesday 1 October, because that’s the cut-off point!
It’s fair to say we’re pulling out all the stops for this year’s Most Wanted and It List Grand Final, which is taking place from 7pm on Monday 13 October.
Firstly, we’re taking you to Drumsheds – the first hairdressing event to do so – the INCREDIBLE and, frankly, ENORMOUS music and culture venue in north London.
Even if you’ve never been there before (Drumsheds club nights are legendary), it might feel strangely familiar when you walk in.
That’s because the Tottenham warehouse used to house IKEA’s flagship store, except now those aisles and showrooms have been replaced by high-quality sound systems and immersive light displays and £1 million-worth of panoramic screens that we are going to make good use of, trust us!
It’s our biggest-ever stage for Creative HEAD’s biggest night of the year, and we could not be more excited.
Oh, hang on. Perhaps we could. Because we’re also thrilled to announce that comedian Lou Sanders will be hosting proceedings, bringing her surreal stand-up routine in an exclusive routine just for our guests, as well as helping us crown the winners of our two brilliant competitions.
Lou has been all over TV recently, starring in Amazon’s Last One Laughing, appearing on QI and Would I Lie To You and even a competitor on Dancing On Ice Series 16 (she made it to Week 5 with pro partner Brendyn Hatfield).
But what we love about Lou most of all is that she’s famous for a bit of mischief-making, which sounds right up our street. We do love making a bit of mischief at MWIT!
And to top it all off, Phoenix Brown, daughter of Spice Girl Melanie “Mel B” Brown, will be leading us onto the dancefloor at the Most Wanted and It List after-party.
A rising star on the DJ scene (not to mention up-and-coming model – she recently made her LFW catwalk debut for Sprayground), Phoenix has played at trendy clubs, private events and brand parties in London and Los Angeles, including the 2024 BAFTAs.
But on Monday 13 October she’ll be playing just for us, with a rousing set that blends Afrobeats with dancehall, R&B, and global club rhythms.
Let’s get it poppinnnnn, Phoenix!
Got your Most Wanted and It List Grand Final ticket? You’d better hope so, because at the time of writing they are very nearly all gone.
That’s because this anyone who’s been to one of our Grand Finals before will know that not only is this an event where hairdressers get together to celebrate the innovators, ground-breakers and trailblazers of our industry, with six places on the It List and 12 brand-new purpose-driven Most Wanted trophies to dish out, it’s a night where, sartorially speaking, ANYTHING GOES.
And it always does.
Buy your ticket now. Get that outfit sorted. The Most Wanted and It List Grand Final will be here before you know it – and we really wouldn’t want you to miss out.
