It has been announced that Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2020 has been postponed and will now be held from the 11th to the 15th June 2020.
“The latest news concerning Novel Corona Virus in Italy have forced us to review our positions,” says Gianpiero Calzolari, President of BolognaFiere, which organises Cosmoprof Worldwide. “In agreement with the Regional Government of Emilia Romagna and with the Muncipality of Bologna, we have assessed the situation, and postponing the event is currently the most correct solution, to support Italian institutions engaged today in protecting our health.”
“The decision to postpone the event… is further evidence of our commitment to support the development of the cosmetic industry worldwide,” says Enrico Zannini, General Manager of BolognaFiere Cosmoprof SpA. “In this way, we can offer to the over 3,000 exhibitors of this edition and to the 265,000 operators attending our exhibition every year a high-quality business event, as in the tradition of Cosmoprof. I would like to thank our exhibitors and our partners for their understanding in the latest weeks, due to the complicated scenario in which we are involved. Thanks to the collaboration of the entire industry, our event in June will be a key moment for our sector.”

With over 40 years of experience, Lesley Stitt, owner of Power Cuts, has been appointed OSMO Global Educator.
Lesley’s passion for hair started at a very young age – as a child she would paint her doll’s hair with boot polish!
Once Lesley carved out her career within hairdressing, she began to move into education. Lesley wanted to share her own struggles she had overcome in understanding all the technicalities of applying hair colour.
Lesley was drawn to working with OSMO not only through a genuine love of the quality and variation of their product ranges but also the brand’s ability to listen to their brand experts and customers, using their feedback to channel new product development and launches.
Lesley comments: “I’m absolutely thrilled and excited to be part of the OSMO team, to me it feels like family. I’ve never come across such loyal, talented and passionate people – I’m forever feeling like a proud mum!”
The iconic tool barbers and professional stylists have been asking for is officially back and permanently here to stay. When first released in 2018, the Cordless Senior was greatly sought after, but the clipper was only available for a limited time. Now back by popular demand, this heavy-duty tool is designed to have strong cutting power to be able to handle on-scalp fading, clipper-over-comb, and bulk hair removal.
“The Cordless Senior is something you always wished for as a barber but would never believe could happen in a million years,” says Wahl Education and Artistic Team member Garland “G-Whiz” Fox (@thisisgwhiz). “And here it is, the Cordless Senior, the most powerful Wahl cordless clipper hands down.”
The Cordless Senior has a lithium-ion battery that gives the tool a 70+ minute run-time before needing another charge. This clipper comes in a sleek black and gold casing that allows barbers to cut in style while delivering on all the power. The tool comes with three Premium Cutting Guides (1/16” – 3/16”) and with a 5 Star surgical fade blade that allows a higher blade speed. Although lightweight, this iconic clipper has a powerful motor that places it at the forefront of haircutting technology.
“I believe this clipper will continue to be a favorite of our long-time Wahl fans and will attract a new fan base looking for a lot of power in a cordless option,” says Anne Marie Kollias, Wahl Professional’s U.S. Director of Sales and Marketing.
The Cordless Senior retails at $159 and can be found at wahlpro.com for more information
Following Government being dissolved last November, preceeding the General Election, all APPGs (All Party Parliamentary Groups) were dissolved as well. Now with the new Government being formed, the Hair and Barber Council and BABTAC attended the Palace of Westminster last Wednesday 15th January, where their industry APPG has been reinstated as an official All Party Parliamentary Group.
Following a formal AGM, MPs cross party voted to reinstate the group where John McNally MP and Christina Rees MP were voted in as Co-Chairs. Once the AGM affairs were completed, the council discussed the platform and main strategy for the Hair and Barber Council and BABTAC, was to fast track their campaign to have their current voluntary Act of Parliament amended to mandatory, whilst adding ‘Beauty’ into the body of the Act.
With the AGM completed, there followed a presentation from Tom Chapman and Dan Davies from The Lions Barber Collective on what their charity is doing to support mental health awareness, loneliness and suicide prevention in the barber industry. It was a fascinating presentation, totally supported by the MPs that attended, with many offers of support resulting from the amazing work the Lions are doing for the industry.
