Fellowship for British Hairdressing Announce the Expansion of their Regional Projects

“After the roaring success of Project Scotland, the Fellowship have introduced Project Wales and Project Northern Ireland. These regional projects are a platform for hair professionals to come together, learn from each other, and explore new creative approaches, all while staying true to the distinctive style and innovation that Welsh and Northern Irish Hair Creativity are known for,”

– Barry Stephens, CEO Fellowship for British Hairdressing.

The projects are designed to showcase and develop the region’s top hairdressing talent across all areas of creativity—cutting, colouring, and styling.

Project Leads

Project Wales is being led by multi-award-winning Cardiff-based hair stylist and founder of CHAIR salons, Casey Coleman. Project Northern Ireland will be headed up by 2024 F.A.M.E. Team Member, Stephen Campbell.

“Offering Welsh Fellowship members the chance to gain opportunities for education with some of Wales’s iconic industry figures. Project members will have access to a year’s worth of education in cutting, colour, styling, Avant Garde, social media, stage presenting and textured hair, as well as being given the chance to work on stage and take part in a creative photoshoot. Buckle up because this is going to be one hell of a ride!”

– Casey Coleman, Project Wales Leader.

The Projects Offer…

• Comprehensive Creative Development
  Covering every aspect of hair artistry, from cutting and colouring to styling and beyond.
• Learning From The Best
  Team mentees will have the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from some the leading hair professionals that Wales and Ireland have to offer.
• Real-World Exposure
  Whether through photoshoots, stage work, live sessions, or other creative projects, this programme provides opportunities to put newly developed skills into practice.
• Supporting Talent
  The focus is on nurturing local talent, helping team mentees grow within the industry and contribute to region’s hairdressing community.

“Northern Ireland getting its chance to showcase the incredible talent it has to offer is so exciting, not only for the ever-emerging talent, but also for the phenomenal trailblazers who we’ll have mentorship days with as part of Project Northern Ireland. These are people I look up to myself, who have and continue to shape the hairdressing industry, and for them to share their knowledge and advice with the mentees. This is an opportunity I cannot recommend enough for anyone considering applying,”

– Stephen Campbell, Project Northern Ireland Leader.
