The Fellowship for British Hairdressing is now accepting applications for its F.A.M.E. Team programme, aiming to select emerging talent for 2027. This initiative, a launchpad for young stylists, offers a year of intensive development including editorial shoots, fashion shows, and live events. Participants will work alongside industry leaders and receive dedicated mentoring.
Selection for the F.A.M.E. Team involves submitting up to six images of work, with optional video content detailing creative experience and personal vision. This application process requires a significant showcase of a stylist's current capabilities and future aspirations. The programme culminates in the official team announcement on December 7, 2026, following semi-final and final selection stages.
The F.A.M.E. Team has a strong track record in nurturing talent. Christel Barron-Hough, who led the team in 2025-2026, highlights the lasting value of the industry connections made. For salon owners, supporting staff who apply offers a potential route to developing highly skilled and connected professionals. The application deadline is June 29, 2026.
