HairCon 2026, you were incredible.
After a few days to recover, I’ve had some time to reflect.
Launching our new Rooted In campaign on stage was a real highlight, and sharing it alongside Adam Reed, Charles Gray, Elle Foreman, Ayeesha Coleman, James Busby and Luke Ellis made it even more special.
We stood on stage and said we believed we’d reach 200,000 trees planted by the end of HairCon.
We did it. 🌳
Our stand was buzzing all weekend and the support we received was overwhelming. Every conversation, every photo, every pair of scissors sold and every person who stopped by means more than you know.
As a small family-run business, it genuinely felt like Leaf levelled up this week.
Thank you to everyone who visited us, supported us, worked with us and continues to believe in what we’re building.
We’re more inspired than ever to keep pushing forward with our mission of community, sustainability and affordability, while finding new ways to make life better for hairdressers.
For now, I’m taking a few days to recharge with my wife Jane (last seen somewhere near the Glowwa stand 😂).
Thank you for being part of the journey.

ROOTED IN BARBERING ✂️
For Ayeesha Coleman, barbering has always been about more than cutting hair.
It’s about creating space.
Breaking barriers.
Being seen.
And helping others see what’s possible.
Through talent, determination and an unwavering belief in herself, Ayeesha has carved out her own path in an industry where representation matters. She’s never waited for opportunities to appear.
She’s created them.
Her journey is a reminder that barbering can be a powerful vehicle for change, opening doors, challenging perceptions and inspiring the next generation to step forward with confidence.
When we asked Ayeesha what she was rooted in, the answer was clear.
Barbering.
The craft that gave her a voice, a platform and a purpose.

ROOTED IN RELATIONSHIPS 🤝
For James Busby, hairdressing has never just been about hair.
It’s about people.
The relationships we build with our clients.
The friendships we create within our industry.
The trust that’s earned over years, not minutes.
From behind the chair to on stage, through education, content creation and brand partnerships, James has built his career on authentic connections and a genuine passion for bringing people together.
Because the strongest careers aren’t built alone.
They’re built through relationships.
The conversations.
The collaborations.
The communities we create along the way.
When we asked James what he was rooted in, the answer was clear.
Relationships.
The foundation of every opportunity, every success and every lasting impact we make.

ROOTED IN EDUCATION 📚
For Charles Gray, education isn’t just part of what he does.
It’s who he is.
As the founder of a digital education platform, Charles has dedicated his career to helping hairdressers grow their skills, build confidence and unlock new opportunities. His passion for learning has taken him around the world, sharing knowledge with thousands of professionals and inspiring the next generation of our industry.
For over six years, Charles has also been a huge part of the Leaf journey, helping shape our vision as Creative Director and continuously challenging us to think bigger, create better and never stop evolving.
Because great education isn’t about teaching people what to think.
It’s about giving them the tools, confidence and inspiration to discover what’s possible.
When we asked Charles what he was rooted in, the answer was obvious.
Education.
The foundation of growth, creativity and lasting change.

ROOTED IN CARE ❤️
For Adam Reed, hairdressing has always been about people.
Beyond the hair, beyond the trends, beyond the techniques, it’s about making people feel seen, valued and cared for.
Care is at the heart of every consultation, every transformation and every relationship built in the salon chair. It’s what turns a service into an experience and a client into a lifelong connection.
Throughout his incredible career, Adam has championed the idea that great hair starts with genuine care for the person sitting in front of you.
When we asked Adam what he was rooted in, the answer was clear.
Care.
The foundation of exceptional hairdressing and meaningful human connection.

ROOTED IN SALONS ✂️
For Elle Foreman, the salon has always been more than a workplace.
It’s where creativity comes to life.
Where confidence is built.
Where connections are made.
Where people leave feeling like the very best version of themselves.
The salon floor has shaped who Elle is as an artist, educator and hairdresser. It’s where she has learned, grown, created and found her place within our industry.
When we asked Elle what she was rooted in, the answer was simple.
Salons.
The heartbeat of everything she does.
