THE FELLOWSHIP FOR BRITISH HAIRDRESSING ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF PROJECT WALES

Project Wales is a unique programme that has been designed to showcase and develop the region’s top hairdressing talent across all areas of creativity—cutting, colouring, and styling. 

Project Wales is being led by multi-award-winning Cardiff-based hair stylist and founder of CHAIR salons, Casey Coleman. 

Barry Stephens, CEO of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing said: “After the roaring success of Project Scotland, the Fellowship have introduced Project Wales. 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 Hair Creativity are known for.” 

What Project Wales offers:

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 has 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.

Project Wales is all about fostering creativity and collaboration, giving hair professionals the tools and inspiration to continue growing and pushing boundaries in their craft.

Casey Coleman, Project Wales Leader said: “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!”
