Whether you sit in the camp of ‘change is good’ or are more aligned with ‘better the devil you know’, it’s hard to deny that we currently find ourselves in a state of shift. When the landscape you can’t control has altered, it’s arguably those that evolve with the times, that thrive. And so, we have gathered a panel of eight Future Forces to discuss A New Era in Hairdressing – join us for The Coterie London on Monday 21 November (7-10PM) to see what they predict is in store…
Hosted by Creative HEAD editorial director, Amanda Nottage, this progressive panel are transforming change into opportunity, whether that’s traversing the tracks between creative and commercial, shaking up the salon structure, calling on community or shaping the concept of social content. There’s another common denominator too – doing what makes you happy – whether that’s pursuing your passion or prioritising wellbeing and balance.
Tickets are just £15 including canapes, drinks all evening, and a goody bag from sponsors JOICO, places are limited so get in quick!
