Australian Hair Fashion Awards 2008
from the Australian Hair Fashion
Awards 2008 Web site...
The Australian Hairdressing Industry hosts some of the
best hairdressers in the world, and on the 17th of March we honour
those individuals and teams who make this industry great. As more
and more salons enter this– the purist and most respected awards
event in the hairdressing industry globally– standards continue to
rise and the integrity of hairdressing increases. The Australian
Hair Fashion Awards, now in its twelfth year, have always attracted
media in mass with over 30 consumer titles supporting the event
nationally and over 60 international titles supporting the AHFA’s
from both the trade and consumer media. Positive media attention
around the finalists, the event and the winners not only educates
the consumers to the benefits of professional hairdressing salons
but it also educates them on hairdressing as a career
choice.

Million Dollar $alon
The Million Dollar Salon is a new reality game show which follows 12 people trying to run six booming hair salons in six cities across Australia. In between the styling, laughing, bitching, crying and cutting, each person will compete to try to win their own million dollar salon.
These colourful characters will stop at nothing to win in the cut-throat world of hairdressing. While viewers can go in and get their haircut, who will Australia ultimately vote to take out the huge cash prize?
- Have you ever wanted to own your own thriving hair salon?
- Do you dream of fame, fortune and travel in the fashion industry?
- Are you the next superstar of hairdressing?
- Or are you an aspiring business baron ready to make mountains of money as a salon owner?
If you think you've got what it takes to win your own Million Dollar Salon, we want to see you at one of our audition days.
Who we want to see:
- Experienced hairdressers wanting to start their own business
- Entrepreneurs (not hairdressers) who think they have what it takes to manage and run a thriving hair salon
Ann Maree Mason farewells Hair Expo
Ann-Maree Mason, Event Manager of Hair Expo Australia, has announced that she will be stepping down from the
post in early 2008 to pursue a new opportunity within the salon industry.
However, she leaves behind an event
that is well on track to being the biggest and best yet, with this year’s participation up 16% on 2007’s show.
Hair Expo Australia 2008 will be passed into the capable hands of Brian Thomas, Reed Exhibitions Australia
Commercial Director who will act as the event’s interim manager. Brian has over 14 years experience in the
exhibitions and events industry and has handled some of the country’s biggest events, including the General
Practitioner Conference and Exhibition – the largest exhibition for GPs in Australia incorporating an exhibition,
education and awards program.
An announcement will be made to the industry shortly on Ann-Maree’s successor. In the meantime, it’s business
as usual with the Hair Expo team of Matt Davies, Account Manager; Alana Ross, Senior Coordinator and Libby
Brooks Molloy, Awards Coordinator
Hair Expo Australia 2008 will continue to follow Ann-Maree’s original vision of a new, dynamic and exciting event.
Key International and Australian talent have been locked into the Hair Expo 2008 education and event program
and there are also many exciting new initiatives to be unveiled. A full list of key talent and events is due to be
published on 1st February, in the next issue of Culture Magazine and on the Hair Expo website
(www.hairexpoaustralia.com) meanwhile entries and nominations for the 23rd Annual Hairdressing Awards are
well underway.
Ann-Maree’s last day at Hair Expo is Wednesday, 6th February. Read More...
