Performance Notes | Following the death of his son, Valentino, Tony Rizzo launched the Alternative Hair Show in 1983 to help raise funds for Leukaemia Research. At the time, leukaemia was still a poorly understood illness that affected both children and adults often with tragic consequences.
From humble beginnings, the Alternative Hair Show has grown into the world's most prestigious annual hairdressing event, hosting leading teams and inspirational hair artists from all over the globe. In doing so, the Alternative Hair Show has raised an astonishing amount of over £7 million for research and continues to be a key resource to help Leukaemia Research meet its fundraising targets.
The 2009 London Alternative Hair Show will be held here at the Hall on 18th October, 2009. |
