Welcome to Glow Up 03.2026, an elevated industry showcase where inspiration meets innovation.

South Africa’s creative circles are already buzzing, and the anticipation is building. On 22 March 2026, Goldwell will once again bring the professional hair industry together for an afternoon designed to spark curiosity, connection, and next-level craft.

This month’s announcement just lifts the curtain for a tantalising peek! What we can reveal is that Glow Up will feature:

A First Look at Goldwell’s Exclusive 2026 Trend Collection

Attendees will witness fresh cuts, colours, and textures unveiled live, long before they surface in the mainstream. These trend looks set the tone for the year ahead and provide stylists with instant, applicable techniques to take back to their chairs the very next morning.

An International Guest Educator and Artist

A globally celebrated creative will join us on stage, shaping the afternoon with world-class insight, artistry, and unexpected moments of brilliance. Their identity remains under wraps for now, but their reputation speaks volumes.

Local Goldwell Ambassadors in the Spotlight

South Africa’s top trendsetters will bring their own interpretations to life, blending global influence with local artistry. Expect powerful presentations, bold experiments, and a collective expression of the evolving South African hair signature.

Experience and Activation Zones

Multiple immersive areas will be available for guests to explore at their own rhythm. Think interactive demonstrations, creativity corners, touch-and-try spaces, and live showcases designed to stimulate new ideas!

A Networking Arena for the Industry

Glow Up is not just an event. It is a meeting ground for stylists, educators, salon owners, and creatives who want to exchange ideas and grow together. It’s where partnerships are sparked, collaborations begin, and the future takes shape.

A Must-Attend Gathering for 2026

Glow Up ‘26 promises an afternoon of artistry, education, and high-energy inspiration that sets the tone for the year ahead.
