HairCon ticket holders, listen up. Noise, the underground hair, fashion and art show, will be part of the weekend’s event. Started in 2012 by hairdresser and salon owner Richard Ashforth, Noise strives to differ from corporate industry events. Noise shares creativity and inspiration with professionals while making a name for itself as a fashion-forward event where beauty collides with underground culture.
About Noise
Since opening, Noise has shown some of the world’s best creative talent at legendary venues across the globe. This includes the Ebisu Liquid Room in Tokyo, ICA in London and the Whiskey a Go-Go in LA. Now, it’s coming to HairCon in Manchester from June 22 to June 24, 2024.
About Richard
Richard is the creative director and co-founder of Saco, an international salon and academy group. Originating in London, Saco is now established across 11 countries and spread over 3 continents. an impressive feat, for sure. Before Saco, Richard studied art and art history and, rumour has it, had a glittering 20-year career with Vidal Sassoon.
Richard says, “HairCon is challenging sterile traditional hair exhibitions, making it an ideal location for Noise.”
