But this isn’t just another beauty sponsorship.

This is an all-out hair celebration, complete with free styling sessions, celeb stylists and tools that deliver salon-worthy hair without the salon.

The backstage buzz? Shark’s styling squad is working directly with some of the country’s biggest designers, Carla Zampatti, Aje, Alix Higgins, Bianca Spender and Mariam Seddiq.

To bring each show’s creative vision to life, one perfectly glossy blowout at a time.

Armed with the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System, on sale now for $349.99. and the Shark SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher and High-Velocity Dryer, on sale now for $199.99.

They’re making sure every model’s hair hits the runway ready for a close-up.

Creative Hair Director Madison Voloshin is leading the charge backstage, styling for Carla Zampatti and Aje, while other top hair names like Chris Hunter and Daniel Jianing Liu are adding their magic to the mix. The vibe? Effortless cool meets high-fashion polish.

Free pop-up styling sessions

But here’s the best part: you don’t need to score a coveted front-row seat to get in on the glam.

From Tuesday, 13 May, Shark Beauty has opened the doors to their Shark Beauty Style Salon at Carriageworks.

Yes, that means you can book a complimentary 30-minute hair appointment and walk out with the kind of hair usually reserved for magazine covers.

Expect sleek blowouts, voluminous curls and expert advice on how to use Shark’s cult tools on your own hair type.

And if you’re thinking, ‘Yeah, but I’ve got tricky hair,’ don’t stress. Shark Beauty is all about inclusivity; they’re proudly ‘For All Hairkind,’ so every texture, curl and wave is covered.

With celebrity hairstylist Joey Scandizzo heading up the salon crew and Shark Beauty ambassador Maria Thattil making waves sleek (literally), it’s clear this brand isn’t just about hair, it’s about confidence.

Because nothing says power move like runway-ready hair at 9 am on a Wednesday.

So, whether you’re stalking street style looks on Instagram or heading to Carriageworks in Sydney (in real life), do yourself a favour: book the appointment, try the tools and join the hair revolution.
