September 13th-15th, 2025. OMC Hairworld - The largest live hair and beauty competition in the world returns to Paris, France.
OMC Hairworld is the ultimate stage for the beauty industry’s most talented and determined. Thousands of competitors from over fifty countries gather here to showcase their skills, share their passion, and network with a community that celebrates excellence and creativity.

Every moment of this event is the result of incredible dedication and preparation. Competitors spend years perfecting their craft, refining their techniques, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in hair, makeup, and aesthetics. Behind the scenes, competition directors and event organizers work tirelessly to create an unforgettable experience, ensuring every detail reflects the prestige and integrity of OMC.
The journey begins with excitement and connection. On the first day, attendees arrive for registration, meetings, and the chance to reconnect with familiar faces. Conversations of all languages buzz with anticipation, and the evening culminates in a Gala event.

It’s a celebration not just of their skill, but of the journey they’ve undertaken, the sacrifices they’ve made, and the pride they bring to their craft. A shared recognition of the extraordinary talent and effort that defines OMC Hairworld.
I’m incredibly grateful for the chance to work alongside this global family of extraordinary individuals year after year. From the Foderas and the board of directors to the competitors, models, competition directors, and devoted fans—this community is something truly special, and I’m proud to call them family. Since 2019, we’ve been creating content and memories together across the globe. This will mark my fifth Hairworld in Paris, and we've already shared unforgettable moments in Milan, Tokyo, and New York. I can’t wait to reconnect with everyone again this year.
