Salon Melbourne/Hair Melbourne kicks off on March 1, 2015 and is set to deliver a diverse program of premier education over the two-day program.

Hoping to kick-start your career in the hair and beauty industry? Open your own clinic? Begin an apprenticeship? Or just keep up with the industry’s ever-advancing technologies and techniques?

For all things hair and beauty related, Salon Melbourne should be your first port of call.

For the last six years, the expo has remained at the pinnacle of the hair and beauty industry in Victoria. The upcoming March show is no exception.

With a diverse selection of creative, practical, strategic and business education , this year’s program covers all topics essential to getting ahead in the industry – from filling your appointment book to launching a bridal service.

Whether you’re looking to discover the secrets behind strong editorial looks, unlock the power of your selling potential, give your clients that superstar edge, reverse the signs of ageing by transforming your clients’ eyebrows, or uncover the age-defying benefits of LED therapy, there’s something for everyone in this year’s line up.

The 2015 show is also set to launch a 90-minute inspiration session, The Transformation Series. In this, a panel of national and international speakers, including veteran makeup artist, educator and entrepreneur, Donna Mee, share their industry insights to energise, motivate and excite your passion for the hair and beauty business.

This year’s expo will kick off on Sunday, March 1, and run for two days at The Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.
