Colour World UK 2023 is taking place from the 14 – 15 May at new London value in Hoxton Square. This will bring a fresh aspect to the event in its 8th year.
This year heralds a massive ‘return to live’ for hairdressing. Tickets for the London edition of Colour World UK 2023 went on sale recently, along with news of the annual Colour Genius Awards 2023 held the same weekend. Numerous sponsors and collaborators support the event, giving it the integrity of not being owned by any one colour house.
Year on year, surveys of ticket holders show it is primarily experienced colourists and salon owners who attend. Of more than 1550 visitors in 2022, 80% of visitors described themselves as having 6+ years experience as a colourist, educator, or salon owner. Equally, 54% were aged 25-44 years.
Sunday 14 May and Monday 15 May
Forming a 2-day event, Colour World will run over Sunday 14 May and Monday 15 May with the awards party on Sunday evening. A new venue in central London (Hoxton Square) brings a fresh aspect to this event in its 8th year. The stunning Shoreditch Electric Power station is the background for discovering the best in colour. Plans include welcoming up to 2,000 visitors.
An individual day ticket gives access to the entire event offering. There are no limitations on time, and no extra costs.
There is no backstage meaning backwashes, styling bars and make-up stations are all on show. Sunday 14 May and Monday 15 May will have slightly differing line-ups but overall similar content – see social media for further details.
The Colour Genius Awards party, meanwhile, takes place on Sunday 14 May at Gigi’s in Hoxton Square. With more
than 400 entries over 10 categories to date (competition closes end of March), it’s going to be a hotly
contested night.
