TOP HAIR - DIE MESSE Düsseldorf once again impressively proved that itis the trade fair for the hairdressing industry in Europe. On Saturday andSunday, 19,000 professionals from 30 countries were inspired by around
350 exhibitors and brands from the hair cosmetics industry and celebrated
themselves and the industry. "TOP HAIR Düsseldorf is a top-classhairdressing event and was once again able to impress with its unique
combination of trade fair, shows, workshops and congress. However, thisevent is not only a hairdressing trade fair, but also a great family reunion
and indispensable contact exchange. Everyone involved missed thepersonal conversations and encounters enormously," says Project Director
Hannes Niemann.
Over two days, the TOP HAIR trade fair offered a market overview of
hairdressing supplies, professional hair care and hair cosmetics,
furnishings, professional articles and services, with a clear separation of
the order and direct sales areas, which is highly appreciated by visitors.
Christian Schikora, Managing Director of TOP HAIR International GmbH,sums up: "Finally - after very long years due to the Covid-induced break,
we have finally been able to meet again. Hairdressers, industry, top players
and friends of the sector. We missed the personal contact very much. All
the more important was this really respectable new start - a signal to theindustry for a new beginning with strength, confidence and self-assurance.
For everyone involved, TOP HAIR - the trade fair was an inspiration and animportant impulse.""All the effort we put in paid off. At this very special TOP HAIR fair we wereable to present the best of the scene live on stage. The stage programme
was outstanding and delighted everyone. The extraordinary shows wereparticularly well received by the audience and are representative of thespecial spirit that emanates from our industry. The spark was palpable andwe are already looking forward to next year," says Dr. Rebecca Kandler,
editor-in-chief and publishing director of the editorial department of TOP
