Spectacular 100-Year Anniversary Celebration

Happiness comes easily—when people meet with open hearts and share a common passion. Nearly 1,000 of the world’s top hairdressers from six continents and 40 countries gathered on the first weekend of June for the 23rd Intercoiffure World Congress. In its founding city of Hamburg, the “World’s Leading Hairdressers” celebrated the 100th anniversary of their international organisation. The highlights: nine prestigious shows, three gala acts, captivating performances by Fondation Guillaume and South African hairdressing students from the “Education for Life” charity programme at the Hamburg Congress Center. Adding to the festivities were a Parade of Nations in the historic Altona Fish Auction Hall, a glamorous gala evening, an exclusive matinée at the Elbphilharmonie with the “Camerata” orchestra, a formal award ceremony, and a lively 1920s-style party. It was a grand celebration—full of warmth, creativity, and global friendship.
