If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about wig-making, now is your chance. Jackie Sweeney and her dedicated team will be hosting demonstrations within the Workshop Area; visitors will have the opportunity to try their hand at styling various wigs, such as testing their pin curling skills. Or see whether you would be able to pass muster for theatre calls, by showing how fast you can fit a wig.
On-stand you will find more demonstrations for wig-dressing, as well as the opportunity to see the wigs themselves taking shape, as the team create news ones throughout the weekend. The exhibitors are also on hand to answer questions and give careers advice should you seek it.

NASMAH Chairman Sandra Exelby and Vice-President Stephanie Kaye will be available to give information about how to join the Association, while also dishing advice on tricky topics such as insurance and answering any questions you might have. Jeanette Redmond will be barbering at various times throughout the weekend, while Simon Beale will be talking about his hairdressing academy and demonstrating his wig making and knotting skills, as well as those of his students. Phil Ryan will also be available on the Sunday to talk about Total Cover, the newest hair system for temporarily replacing hair and covering thinning spots.
Charles Fox has several demos and workshops available to develop your skills as an artist. On the Main Stage you will find Mona Turnbull, a bodypainting artist, who will be making the most of her human canvas to create a beautiful piece of bodyart. Freelance MUA Carol Brown will also be gracing the stage to demonstrate the latest Kryolan products, as well as Charles Fox’s Head of Makeup, Paul Merchant, who will be giving a talk on current make-up trend looks.
In terms of workshops, Charles Fox is bringing several of its most popular shop-based seminars to the expo, including the Asian Bridal workshop, Burlesque seminar and a demonstration of various camouflage techniques, using products such as Dermablend.
