IHC Connects on 9th November: Beyond the Haircut, The Future of Hair Replacement
The Irish Hairdressing Council is delighted to announce our next IHC Connects session, taking place on Monday 9th November at 8pm on Zoom.
We’re welcoming Matthew McIlveen, Lead Educator at Chapter VI, to deliver a free session titled Beyond the Haircut: The Future of Hair Replacement.
Why this session, and why now
Hair loss changes more than someone’s appearance. For many clients it affects confidence and wellbeing, and it can quietly change their relationship with their hairdresser. But it doesn’t have to. Hair professionals already have the skills, the trust and the client relationships to play a much greater role in supporting people through hair loss.
What the session will cover
Matthew will explore:
The growing opportunities in men’s hair replacement and medical wigs
How the skills hairdressers already possess can open doors to a new area of the industry
The connection between client confidence, wellbeing and retention
Access to specialist services for people experiencing hair loss
How specialist education can help hair professionals take that next step
About our guest
