into an absolute highlight for this industry. The concept jointly developed byMesse Düsseldorf and TOP HAIR also more than stood the test of time in
2019. Both exhibitors and visitors alike were blown away – the efforts we haveundertaken have paid off. The event is supported and endorsed by the wholeindustry. The enthusiasm of both visitors and exhibitors can be felt everywhereat the trade fair. I am personally very grateful and absolutely overwhelmed.”

This year we have again succeeded in enlisting the stars
in the industry for live stage performances – encompassing everything from
French elegance to Californian coolness. This year’s trade fair was anintoxicating feast for the industry.”
Just under 1,700 protagonists delighted trade visitors over the 15 hours of thetrade fair – with some 180 individual items on the agenda comprising 14
international shows, 96 workshops and 27 Cutting Factory lectures to choose
from. The four workshop stages were all about top craftsmanship and practicalknowledge for everyday salon routine. TOP HAIR’s Cutting Factory placed
essentials centre stage: hair cutting in its purest form. Trends, techniques,products and special offers revolving around barbering were showcased at theBarbers’ Corner. However, a visit to the trade fair also paid off businesswise.
At the Congress high-calibre speakers provided hairdresser entrepreneurs
and ambitious employees with information on such topics as marketing, salon
management, conflict management, personal development or teamwork.
