NEXT STOP: ORLANDO, USA 🇺🇸

The DHA Creator Stage is going global… again.

From Germany to Australia and now we’re taking it to Orlando.

Bigger stages.
More artists.

More opportunities to learn, connect, and get your work seen.

This is what happens when the industry shows up!

Orlando… we’re coming. ✈️

Mane Land 2026⚡️

The energy at the Hordern Pavilion was unmatched, and the turnout exceeded every expectation. A massive thank you to the entire hair community and every single guest who joined the movement, from the industry pros to the hair-obsessed crowd, your collective energy is what brought this vision to life. This production wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the world-class brands involved, whose innovation and partnership set a new standard for what an event like this can be.

Bring on MANE LAND 2027 🔥

Even if I used every word in my English vocabulary to describe what it felt like to be at the most exclusive event in the hair industry in Australia, I still wouldn’t be able to do justice to what I’m feeling.

I don’t even know how to describe what it feels like to step into a dream. For me, that’s exactly what it felt like having a full stand just for us, showcasing this amazing company and everything it represents in Australia in 2026.

This would never have been possible without some incredibly special people along the way.

My friend and partner @kavenuehair , for always encouraging me since day one. The amazing @vanessabellden and @janna_miccio , who worked so hard to make everything happen. @davidmannah and @mdivision.co , who made this entire event possible. The beautiful @hairmamma , who supported and encouraged me throughout the AHFA. Our incredible team, who are so much more than friends to us, you are family @fabulousdarlinghair@sarahpermallfloractive @danigerace71 @____hairwithsara____ @education_deanna@nanoplastyacademy, Uka, Jai, Sammy, Natan, João, Isa, Carol, Giu, Fábio, Bárbara, Adriano, Matheus, Érika. Our amazing clients who showed up, supported us, and celebrated with us. And everyone who made this day not just another day, but the beginning of something that will truly change many lives in this incredible country.

Thank you so much, everyone. I love you all.

Sam & MJ

What a weekend.

From the DHA Creator Stage to every conversation, connection, and moment in between this is what the hair industry is all about. Showing up, learning, and pushing each other to be better.

It’s more than just the final look.
It’s the process, the people, and the stories behind the work.

To everyone who came, supported, and shared their energy, thank you.

This is just the beginning.

As I reflect on this past weekend, it’s hard to put into words what we’ve achieved. Not only was @maneland.au a monumental success, but it followed right after the @aushairfashionawards the night before, another powerful moment. From every partner, every brand, and every entrant, it was a weekend that elevated the entire hair industry. The impact and energy were felt across Australia, and the globe is watching. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who made this happen, especially my @mdivision.co team, Jamil, @thingselliloves @hairmamma @janna_miccio @jesswillms @noteswithhannah . Your dedication is why this weekend will never be forgotten a special thanks to the extended Mdv fam @vanessabellden @laurenmccowan @lkinga @natalieannehair @byalanaserra @neatob @miachamoun_@katyreevehairandlife @heatherrporter and our extended partners @35_degrees_north @themoderndaysocial @weddedwonderland A special mention to the newly crowned Australian hairdresser of the year @lyndalsalmon and international headliners @cossakkasofficial @efidavies And to all the brand partners, too many to name lots of love coming your way across all our channels THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ❤️

A room full of people, energy, and moments you had to be there for.

From industry professionals to guests and creators, everyone showed up and the space never stopped moving, conversations, showcases, and live runway moments happening in every direction.

If you were in the room, you felt it. If you weren’t… you know.

This is what it looked like when the doors opened.

Proud to capture it as media partner for @maneland.au .
