Paul Mitchell: Blonding Hair Camp 2026 - Live Hairshow + Hands-On Experience Step into the next evolution of blonding with a hands-on cut and color experience! Blonding Hair Camp 2026 is a fully immersive education experience designed for modern hairdressers ready to elevate their craft. This one-day event blends inspiration, innovation, and application—bringing together a live hair show, hands-on training, and the latest advancements in blonding and toning technology. From lived-in color and natural transitions to fashion tones and precision cutting, you’ll gain real-world techniques tailored to today’s New England clientele. Watch it. Learn it. Then do it. This curated experience is built to deliver both creative inspiration and practical execution. Begin with a dynamic live hair show showcasing modern men’s and women’s cut, color, and styling trends. Then, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on workshop focused on refining express foiling techniques and creating a textured bob with modern fringe. Explore new innovations in lightener and pre-bonded color systems designed to simplify your workflow while elevating your results. We’re excited to share that we’ve officially partnered with Harpoon Brewery Queen City Center for our Paul Mitchell Blonding Hair Camp! This brand-new facility features an industrial-chic event space that’s perfectly aligned with our vision—flooded with natural light, polished concrete floors, ample room for both demo and hands-on work, plus a built-in stage and PA system. It also gives us the flexibility to incorporate a dedicated area for wash stations (unlike at the hotel). We’ll be hosting a privately catered lunch in a separate room of the venue (pictured below), which allows us to seamlessly flip our Queen City room from a morning demo into an afternoon hands-on session while they're eating. And, weather permitting, we’ll wrap the day with a casual hang on their outdoor deck. Harpoon Brewery at Queen City Center is located directly behind the Doubletree Downtown Hotel and the two share a parking garage, making it very convenient for attendees. Attendees under 21 will be permitted, bring your I.D. for admittance. Click here to view the Harpoon Brewery website for more details about the space.
