The Fellowship for British Hairdressing launch Project Scotland
Project Scotland is a unique programme designed to showcase and develop Scotland’s top hairdressing talent across all areas of creativity – cutting, colouring, styling, and more.
The Project Scotland team can expect a minimum of 8 education days which will take place in Scotland, a photoshoot, an appearance on Stage at HAIRCON 2025 and the Projects Grand Finale.
It’s a platform for hair professionals to come together, learn from each other, and explore new creative approaches, all while staying true to the distinctive style and innovation that ‘Scottish Hair Creativity’ is known for.
Supporting Talent
Project Scotland is about fostering creativity and collaboration, giving Hair Professionals the tools and inspiration to continue growing and pushing boundaries in their craft. The focus is on nurturing local talent, helping team mentees grow within the industry and contribute to Scotland’s hairdressing community.
Collabs
Project Scotland Mentees will have the opportunity to collaborate with and learn invaluable skills and techniques from some of Scotland’s leading Industry Professionals, including Simon Shaw, Suzie Mcgill, Tracey-Ann Smith, Brian ‘Leo’ McCallum, Luke Ellis, Frazer Wallace, Linton Mac, and Scott Cooper. Whether through photoshoots, stage work, live sessions, or other creative projects, this programme provides opportunities to put newly developed skills into practice.

Colin is passionate about creative cutting and business education, knowledge which he will share with Project Scotland team. Colin McAndrew will be joined by Sarah McCulloch, owner of Dye for Love in Paisley, as Project Scotland Support.
