The whole place was full of exhibitors and visitors thrilled to see that the top names in the industry were there to launch the latest hair techniques, products and gizmos. To electrify the audience Hair by Sleek had award–winning hairdressers styling models using their new innovative weaves and extensions.

One of the brand new attractions was the Live Debate of leading hair professional in the industry. Visitors had the opportunity to direct questions to the leading experts  in hair care. The pop-up Nail & Beauty Bar offered lash extensions, eyebrow threading, henna and a full manicure which appealed to all the stunning fashionistas. And the performance by Moelogo who sang his hit single Pangolo, captivated the audience.
