Rainbow Room International Marks 37th Annual Congress
Rainbow Room International brought together all eleven salons for an evening of inspiration, recognition, and celebration at their 37th Annual Congress, held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow.

With the theme ‘Past, Present, Future,’ the day took on a fresh format, kicking off with a live podcast-style session hosted by Ayr Salon Director Riccardo Corvi, sharing insights, inspiration, and reflections on the Rainbow Room International philosophy and creative journey with the entire team.

The morning continued with engaging discussions in front of a packed audience featuring Alan Stewart, Salon Directors Wil Fleeson and Tara Jack, and Academy Director Laura Leigh Kerr, sharing their perspectives on the group’s evolution and vision for the future. Each salon then took to the stage to present their goals and creative vision for 2026, demonstrating ambition and innovation across the entire team.

The afternoon saw the Rainbow Room Artistic Team, led by Suzie McGill, take to the stage, drawing inspiration from the Schwarzkopf PRO UK Pop Icons shoot, as they presented striking looks and shared the creative thought behind each style. Following a break to get glammed up, guests enjoyed a champagne reception and three-course meal, setting the scene for the much-anticipated award ceremony, where excellence and dedication across the group were celebrated in style.

Recognising Excellence
Rainbow Room International Buchanan Street salon enjoyed a particularly memorable night, taking home an incredible 12 awards, including the prestigious Salon Team of the Year title, a fitting achievement in the same year the flagship salon surpassed the £1 million milestone.

Elsewhere in the city centre, the George Square salon collected seven awards, while the Royal Exchange Square salon secured nine, reflecting the continued strength of the group’s central Glasgow presence.

Salons beyond the city centre also celebrated strong results, with Great Western Road winning 6 awards, Crow Road 4, Clarkston 3, Ayr 8, Uddingston 7, Bearsden 6, and the Academy on Howard Street taking home 5 awards.

With their achievements recognised and celebrated, Rainbow Room International is looking forward to another year of growth, creativity, and delivering outstanding hairdressing experiences for its clients.
