The UK’s Only Professional Trade Show Dedicated To Multicultural Beauty

Taking place at ExCel in London on the 30th June - 1st July 2025

Tones of Beauty is the UK’s only professional trade show dedicated to multicultural beauty, connecting you with key decision makers and new business opportunities.

Tones of Beauty will bring together over 4,000+ beauty professionals from the UK, with over 200+ exhibiting companies from across the world, all under one roof for 2 action packed days of business, networking, engagement and progressive opportunities.

After a successful launch which saw £600,000 raised for the Hair & Beauty charity, Beauty Backed has since evolved into a Trust which aims to assist everyone and anyone who works, or who wants to work in the beauty industry. The Beauty Backed fundraising initiative began in 2020 to support the independent businesses and entrepreneurs in the beauty industry who were directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the hair and beauty sector contributing over £28billion to the British economy each year, Beauty Backed founder Caroline Hirons and Trustees passionately believe this is a valuable industry often ignored or overlooked.

The Beauty Backed Trust was founded on its love of beauty and to support individuals and businesses within beauty therapy, makeup artistry and hairdressing through training support, necessary equipment and other funding initiatives.

The Hair and Barber Council

Set up by an Act of Parliament in 1964, the Hair Council enables hairdressers to apply to become State Registered. But while state registration is mandatory for doctors, nurses, dentists and several other professions, hairdressers can register voluntarily. The Hair Council has two main aims: firstly to increase the number of hairdressers who join the UK Register of Qualified Hairdressers on a voluntary basis.

Our other key objective is to bring about a parliamentary debate followed by a statutory change so that all practicing hairdressers will need to be registered in order to work in the UK.

In order to achieve our goals and to provide advice and support to registered hairdressers, the 17 members of the Hair Council, which includes MPs, doctors, representatives from the major product manufacturers, salon owners and business owners, meet quarterly to discuss ways to progress. There are also Steering Group Committees in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland  which meet a couple of times a year and help to push forward the campaign for registration; and a Barber Council which represents the barbering industry and campaigns for registration of all barbers. 

Together we can make a difference and save lives. 

The MASCED accreditation programme has been developed by national skin cancer charity ‘Skcin’ to educate beauty industry professionals on the detection of suspicious lesions that may be observed on their clients skin. The objective of the accreditation is to raise awareness of the early signs and symptoms of the UK’s most common and fastest rising cancer and promote the early detection of melanoma to improve prognosis and save lives.

Unseen work directly with survivors of modern slavery and trafficking.

Signs of slavery and trafficking are often hidden, which can make it hard to identify victims. It is important that frontline professionals, community groups and individuals learn to recognise the signs of a trafficked person and are equipped to know how to respond.
