Olympia Beauty Exhibition - Nail Stage at 1:30 pm on 3rd October

From September 2022 - The Art Gallery, The Piece Hall, Halifax.



After a hugely successful run in 2018, Andrew Barton (Doc D Arts) and Donna Bevan (FRSA) have re-created this major exhibition with the ambition to re-frame the hair and fashion story. The exhibition will tell the tale of how hairdressing has influenced fashion and popular culture culminating in the future of the salon and the importance of sustainability. 


The magnificent Piece Hall provides the perfect backdrop to what will be a fantastic celebration of British Hairdressing and to showcase the incredible charity, Haircuts4Homeless.

HAIR: UNTOLD STORIES

FREE EXHIBITION, HORNIMAN MUSEUM & GARDENS



DAILY (EXCEPT WEDNESDAYS) 10AM-5.30PM

"There is more to hair than washing, combing and cutting. It is an extraordinary fibre with a range of unexpected possibilities. 


This new exhibition puts the substance before the style and unlocks the untold stories of hair. 

From jewellery and dresses to armour and environmental protection, the show highlights the qualities of hair as a material. It also explores our complex relationship with hair both on, and off, our heads – how and why we care so much about our hair, and how hair is entangled with society’s expectations and our relationships to others."
