Does any of this make you nod your head in solidarity…
“I wish I could watch hair being created in public, without the pressure of a traditional class setting?”
Are you craving an event created by stylists for stylists? A space where you’re learning from peers who get what you’re up against on the reg…
Feeling a little uninspired? Looking for connection, collaboration, or just a room that makes you feel excited again?
Yes?
THIS IS THE EVENT FOR YOU
HAIR POP AND PALS is a low pressure, high curiosity creative hang, built by stylists for stylists, around sharing and showing up as you are.
No scripts. No selling objectives. No perfection required.
Created by Molecule Salon as a step toward the kind of industry we want to exist in, this event is about stripping things back, and making space for real work, real conversations, and real people. We wanted to give the industry a new option, built on “punk rock basement show” energy.
Throughout the afternoon, around 15 stylists and/or barbers will be working on live models, showcasing a look that’s currently lighting them up.
THIS IS NOT A CLASS…
There will be no step by step talking points. No power points. No product brand affiliations. No “please take your seat and quiet down”.
Attendees are encouraged to roam the room, watch live hair being created in real time, ask questions, connect, grab a drink, browse a small lineup of curated local independent business vendors, get inspired, repeat.
