Exhibitor Testimonials

“Denman has been closely involved with the Salon International exhibition since the event’s inception in the early 1970s.  Under the stewardship of the Salon Exhibitions team, we have seen the show grow to become arguably the most important and visually impressive hairdressing event in the world and the undisputed jewel in the crown of the British hairdressing industry.  Hairdressers worldwide look to the UK for innovation and direction in creative hair design and UK hairdressing’s unrivalled reputation for continually pushing the boundaries of hair fashion is augmented by the Salon International experience.  The vision, determination and professionalism of the Salon Exhibitions team have been pivotal to this success”.
Jonathan King, Denman International Limited
 
“Salon International 2008 was bigger and better than ever before for Wahl. The set up went without any hitches and the show itself had a real buzz about it this year. We smashed our sales target and sold out of dozens of lines.
The organisation was as fantastic as ever and the sound and safety police still can’t stop us putting on a great show.
We can’t wait until next year.”

Matt Smith, Wahl (UK) Ltd

"Salon International 2008 was a great event for us and demonstrated that, despite the current economic climate, hairdressing is very much thriving.  We had one of our best and busiest years at an exhibition that is critical to our marketing plan and thanks go to the very helpful team at Salon International that do such a great job of organising the event and also pulling in the visitors."
Rob Sidebotham, The Conair Group – BaByliss Pro

“Great Show Great Venue.
Sales exceeded our expectations, and the enquiries from wholesalers and distributors was staggering.
Quality products at a fair price are the recipe for our success.
Thanks again, and we look forward to Salon International 2009.”

Steve Brown, Beauty-Boxes.com

“On behalf of all the team here at Andy Palmer Ltd and Matsuzaki. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for making our first appearance at salon International a truly fantastic experience. The support that you showed to us was more than we had expected. I would like to extend my thanks further to Mr Mark Tillyer who not only sold us the concept of salon international but also supported us from conception to completion to a level that was well noticed by all in our team. Mark is a real credit to your organisation and I personally look forward to dealing with him in the future.
I hope all who visited salon international 2008 had as good a time as we did over the 3 days. We made many new friends and met many like minded people within this fantastic creative industry that we are privileged to be apart of.
I think we can all agree that the event was a tremendous success.
Once more thank you.”

Andy Palmer, Andy Palmer Ltd & the Academy

“We would like to tell you what a great experience we had at Salon International. It was our first time exhibiting at the event, having been attending for 30 years as hairdressers visiting; it was a fabulous new experience.
As primarily we are a scissor sharpening company we enjoyed a successful launch of the Icon scissor range and meeting fellow hairdressers from around the world, it was a fantastic event. We will be back for more.”

John, Katy & Jonny, Clean-cut Sharpening Centre

“G.E.Betterton & Co Ltd has a long association with Salon International, and always receives excellent service from the Salon team. Salon 08 has proved to be one of our best ever, and we consider the show to be an integral part of our year.
We look forward to many more years at  Salon International.”
Ali Dawson, G E Betterton & Co Ltd

“This was our 15th year at Salon International and I have to say that the show is getting better each year. As an exhibitor we are well looked after in a friendly and efficient matter. Problems are solved even to the point where our whole team of 28 people were stuck in traffic caused by a road accident and the Salon International team manned our stand for the first 45 minutes of the show until we arrived.
We were as usual manic on our stand with the amount of hairdressers coming to our stand, so much so that we could not re-stock quick enough, a great problem to have!”

Dave Brunton, Hair Tools Ltd

“Congratulation to Salon International team on the fantastic organisation at the exhibition.  As it was our first year at the show, we were extremely pleased with the amount of leads that had been generated by it all. 
I can honestly say that Claire who was allocated to our Headmasters stand G145 was fantastic! we only had a couple of hick ups and Claire was there to explain what to do, who to speak too, so the support from not only Claire but other members of your team was so reassuring that made our event run smoothly.
Thank you again, and looking forward to exhibiting next year.”

Magi Donald, Headmasters

“Once again, I would just like to thank you again for all the hard work you put in for the Salon International exhibition this year. This year was the first (of hopefully many) shows for myself with Ice 'N' Strait, and the help and support from you was second to none. From the very first telephone conversation to the very end of the show, you were there every step of the way for me & Ice 'N' Strait. Without you & your team I can honestly say it would have been a real struggle, however you made it all so easy.
You provided us with the support and help before and during the show which I'm sure was above your duty and everyone of our team commented on how helpful yet professional you were at all times.
As you know, because of you and your teams help, we have re-booked to exhibit at next years show.
Our International business has grown from strength to strength since the show, and you have played a big part in that.”

Lee Mahon, Ice 'N' Strait

“We had a sell out weekend!!
With a trebling of turnover from 2007 (our launch last year) + a sell out of all our new lines.  We gave away a £1000 + prize to an HJ competition winner which has been filmed and will be featured in HJ + on HJi, we launched an in salon beauty retail range, the industries first reversible cutting collar, a free online salon finder for all visitors + we were the only independent brand with 3 stands at the show.”

Kevin Nicholls, Roo Salon Ltd

“Thanks very much for all your support at Salon International - you were all amazing.  We are still all recovering from all the hard work that went into the exhibition, but reeling from the excitement and trying to get back into business as usual again.  We've had a lot of enquiries following the show and delivered our first orders this week, so thanks again for your support - it's all very exciting !  David Kim and Phillip Wilson were very impressed by the whole setup and highly appreciative of the reach that our brand achieved throughout the exhibition - they left early Monday morning for Barcelona to present styling techniques to key FHI Heat accounts in Europe and then boarded a 4-day cruise today presenting to L'Oreal/Matrix Europe and wanted me to pass on their thanks to all involved.”
Mark Nelson, FHI Heat Limited
