#OpenChairNight is back!

We are thrilled to be partnering the HairClubLive as they return with the fabulous #OpenChairNight on 20th September in Putney, London. Oh how we’ve missed these amazing live events!

Jump on stage

Run like an open-mic night for hairdressers, the #OpenChairNight is your chance to grab 10 minutes in the spotlight to shine, share and inspire! Literally any hairdresser at any level can sign up to present anything you want – from trainee to award-winner. These nights attract everyone. You don’t need a professional model either, just get your friend, your brother, your mother to join you and away you go. Hosted in pubs and clubs since 2014, the point is to create a party atmosphere with a DJ playing, the bar open, and all eyes on the small stage set where presenters take 10 minutes each to show off. A traffic lights keeps time so when the light is green, you go. When its red you stop. No need to talk as you work – unless you want to. A friendly MC hosts and you’ll absolutely love it.
