The Freelance Hairdresser’s Association (FHA) recently held its highly anticipated Inspire event. It proved to be a vibrant celebration of talent, creativity and the latest trends in the hairdressing industry.
Taking place on 9th June, visitors across the UK gathered for a day filled with dynamic presentations, insightful demonstrations, as well as valuable networking opportunities. This was all thanks to the FHA.
The main stage show at the Inspire event started with a brand presentation led by Claire Turner and the Wella Professionals team. This showcased their latest collection, “Colour Crush”. Furthermore, Wella team demonstrated how freelancers can incorporate these vibrant looks into their services, highlighting buttery blondes and warm rosy tones.
Olaplex delved into their brand’s history and cutting-edge technology. They provided valuable insights on integrating Olaplex into freelance services. They emphasised the financial benefits, as well as explaining how it can enhance your services and bring in more income without compromising client relationships.
After some other stage shows throughout the day, the event culminated in the prestigious Elite Hair Awards, celebrating the crème de la crème of the freelance hairdressing community.

Commenting on the day, the FHA founder Sheila Abrahams said: “It was a fantastic day. Our sponsors Wella, L’Oréal and Indola pulled out all the stops with the stage presentations. Everyone that attended have left inspired with new ideas to take back to their clients. Our exhibition village was bursting with fabulous offers and we welcomed new brands, Glowwa and Olaplex and of course the legendary goody bags. The raffle raised funds for the Hair and Beauty Charity which we have always supported and have donated more than £3,000 over the years.”
