The Fellowship Celebrates its Latest Centre of Excellence
Blending the traditional salon format with an innovative educational and events brand neutral space, Manchester based HOST is a creative hub and the Fellowship for British Hairdressing’s fifth Centre of Excellence.
Co-founded by Sarah Louise Keane and Peter Tobolski, HOST is one of the Fellowship’s newest venues for hosting education and training days for hairdressers and barbers within the Fellowship.
The Fellowship hosted an evening of education, demonstrations, networking, and panel discussions to celebrate HOST’s new Centre of Excellence status. The Fellowship’s Head of Education, Simon Shaw welcomed The Fellowship All Stars to the stage – Bekki Delehedy, Jordan Heyes, Shauna Johnson, and Joseph Hawksworth. Each of the Fellowship All Stars demonstrated a range of techniques and skills that they had acquired during their time on the Fellowship Projects. As a collective, the team’s looks took a contemporary approach to infusing medieval and punk grunge influences.
Careers advice was dished out by Alan Beak, Annie Franklin, Sarah Louise Keane, and Stacey Wright. The group discussion covered everything from education to social media, and of course, the positive impact that being part of the Fellowship’s projects has had on their careers.
Melissa Timperley Education and her team shared a snippet into one of their cutting classes. Followed by F.A.M.E. Team Alumni, James Parr demonstrating his approach to cutting.
“Following such a strong relationship with the Fellowship for British Hairdressing, we’re delighted to have been selected as their fifth Centre of Excellence. This is an incredible opportunity for HOST. The Centre of Excellence project will bring us closer to the heart of the hairdressing and barbering industry, which in turn allows us to provide more creative opportunities and support for those who use our space,”
– Peter Tobolski, co-founder of HOST Manchester.
Members of the Fellowship can become members of HOST and make full access to their facilities, where they can also rent a space to work from. Fellowship members will also be invited to education events, networking opportunities and product launches held at HOST.
