OMC Hairworld offers a global platform to all competitors of the beauty sector of Hair, Aesthetics and Nails to become World Champions in their own field among competitors from the 5 continents. “We have come a long way since the hairdressing and beauty industry started international competitions in 1946,” says Salvatore Fodera, OMC World President. “The events have become ever more exciting and meet the highest standards. I think we are on the right path. One thing is very particular to our industry – every, but really every hairdresser loves his/her profession. I would propose to every hairdresser to go ahead, improve the standard. If there is any change to make, it would be to become even better.”
An amazing treat this year is the Sassoon Academy show by the amazing duo Edward Darley & Mark Hayes in the final Awards Ceremony and the Gordon Miller’s Social Beauty keynote during the OMC General Assembly. ESTETICA will be in the city of lights with the inside scoop of who wins the gold and, of course, online coverage of the breath-taking creations that are always spotted in this annual competition!
