THE HAIR ICONS Milano 2026 sold out: 400 guests at Hollywood
In short: on 25 October 2026 THE HAIR ICONS, MDP’s live hairdressing evening, comes to Hollywood Milano. Live performances by leading teams in Italian hairdressing, plus a special guest. Doors open with an apericena at 19:30; the night ends with an 80s/90s DJ set. The event is sold out, with 400 participants expected. For brands following Italian hairdressing, it is a compact look at the names shaping it.
Who is on stage
The stage lineup features Fabrizio Blonz, Valeria Barba, Federico Patelli, Antonio Tufano, Memento, Head Up, THE GANG (Leonardo “Lo Zio” Pagliuca, Loris “Barber Boss” Carpentone and Domenico “Landscape” Raiola), Brumana Beer Barber and Team INAI. The special guest is Giordano Botti, known as “Parrucchiere Fuoriluogo”. The host is Steven Thomas.
The format
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 19:30–21:00 | Apericena |
| From 21:00 | A sequence of short live hair shows, followed by the special guest |
| After the shows | 80s/90s DJ set |
The short stage format is a deliberate constraint. Each team has to leave one image, one idea, one detail the audience remembers. It is closer to how hairdressing is consumed today, in short and strong moments, than to a long stage seminar.
Why it matters for brands and distributors
- A snapshot of Italian creative styles. Classic artistic teams, barbering, collectives and academies share one stage.
- A professional audience. A sold-out audience of 400 hairdressers and industry professionals in one room, in Milan.
- Content that travels. Short shows produce images and video that brands and teams use for months.
