For salon owners and managers there’s nothing else like it.

Lots of business events inspire, but Salon Smart, Creative HEAD’s business networking event for salon and barber shop owners and managers, aims to do this and more. The speakers are peers – people who are navigating similar circumstances, the topics are targeted to hair professionals and what is impacting your businesses right now, and the advice is relatable, action driven in a way that could make a genuine difference to your goals.

Salon Smart will return to London on Monday 18 March 2024, with a packed one-day agenda. It provides the chance to get together to share real experiences, explore new ideas and discuss big topics. Whether you’re a start-up or long-standing brand, solo venture, or growing chain, coming along will be a great investment for future success.

Hear how to diversify your business and reap the rewards, zone in on mindfulness and better mental health and gain tips on making young talent an invested part of your team. Get the latest insight on building a social media strategy that delivers on business results, explore the untapped potential of the textured hair market and revisit the client connection, as we go beyond hair, delving into inclusivity, community and giving back.

Speakers include influential industry experts including Winnie Awa (Carra), Maddi Cook (Boss Your Salon) Samantha Cusick (Samantha Cusick London and Stā Studios), Chris Foster (The Profile Guy), Hayley Jepson (The Resilient Hairdresser), Neil Maclean (Neil Maclean Hair Studio), Jordan Massarella and Ben Jones (Massarella & Jones), Alison McRitchie (The Head Gardener), Tom Smith (hairstylist and trend forecaster) and so many more.
