The Australian Hair Fashion Awards (AHFA), presented by Dyson will be creating a striking night to remember on Sunday, November 8th in Sydney. The event, is celebrating its 28th year as Australia’s largest and most successful independent hairdressing awards program.
The prestigious event will be held at the The Big Top at Luna Park, boasting the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House as a spectacular backdrop. The first ever hybrid event for the industry, the sold-out AHFA will have up to 200 VIP and industry guests walking the BlackCarpet, hosted by the cheeky and hilarious SketchShe Girls, before heading into the glamourous Grand Ballroom to enjoy an indulgent three course dinner which will be hosted by well-known media personality Carissa Walford.

Guests will also be treated to a theatrical performance by rising star and America’s Got Talent semi-finalist Sheldon Riley – who will be debuting his highly anticipated new single More Than I and wearing a custom designed mask by Jay Briggs which has been featured on a recent cover of Vogue and the runway of Paris Fashion Week – as well as another performance by the highly talented Alfie Acurie. DJ Rowntree will be playing throughout the evening which will be live streamed to a national and global audience of industry members as well as the public. The live stream will commence at 6:30pm AEDT on the Sunday and will be accessible via YouTube.
In celebration of their company being born in the 90’s, Dyson beauty technologies will be used to showcase creative hair artistry by its key styling ambassadors as part of a multi-media runway with a 90’s direction across music, video and lighting. The entire evening will be a striking affair, set amongst pops of deep purples alongside bright copper and against dramatic black. It will be a unique and powerful visual vibrancy, enhanced by hues of the same colour palettes via lighting effects to reflect the Dyson Corrale straightener in a modern and minimalist form.
