Hyde House

Feb, 2024


Our first event at Hyde House in February was an absolute dream (we are still in awe of the two days we had), and we couldn't be more thrilled! With 65 talented bridal hair and makeup artists joining us over two days, the energy was electric as connections were made, stories were shared, and visions for the 2024 season began to take shape right before our eyes. It was a true testament to the power of community and collaboration.

We were beyond honoured to host industry icons like Kristina Gasperas, Kasia Fortuna, Amber Harlow, and The Curl Directive, whose demos left us all inspired and buzzing with creativity. Kerry Curl and Creative Freedom shared invaluable business strategies, while Pat Partridge captured the magic behind the lens, and Ruth Rowberry enlightened us with the importance of wellness and self care and the magic of colour analysis. To all who trusted and joined us for this unforgettable event, we extend our sincerest gratitude.

Your feedback fuels our fire, and we're already hard at work, using it to make the next Gather + Grow event even more spectacular. Here's to many more memorable moments together!
