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.

Goth designer has the last laugh over Australian Fashion Week
The brilliant smile of designer Gail Sorronda is uncharacteristic for a goth. It could be muscle memory from Sorronda's modelling past but in this case, it's simply because her label has survived in the fashion business for 20 years. On Saturday night, a smiling Sorronda celebrated her endurance and creativity, which has been recognised by Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel impresario Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019, with a runway show and party on the outskirts of her home town, Brisbane. 'I want buoyant energy and for it to feel like a celebration,' Sorronda said before the throbbing music began. 'I want it to be a new memory.' In a slick show held in Urban Art Projects' industrial space, models emerged in a disco Victoriana mash-up, where button-up white dresses adorned with sleeves puffy enough to satisfy Anne of Green Gables competed for attention with empire-line black dresses with paper-bag pleated details and bursts of fluorescent green and ultraviolet. They were outfits your rebel little sister would wear to a school formal, your grandmother to a ceramics exhibition and your brother to a nightclub where the doors don't open until 2am. The collection was bright enough to erase darker emotions from February, when Sorronda's application to participate in Australian Fashion Week was rejected, turning her Barbie smile into a Wednesday Addams frown. The Sydney event's owners The Australian Fashion Council rejected Sorronda because she had indicated in a form that she was not open to wholesale orders. Loading Sorronda's dream of celebrating her anniversary alongside her peers Romance Was Born and Gary Bigeni in Sydney at AFW, where her career took off in 2005, was shattered. 'I'm not a mega brand but I've got a voice that is authentic and that people are interested in,' Sorronda says. 'The journey isn't always as we expect, but as a resilient creative who has been doing this for 20 years, you realise you can pivot and it doesn't mean the end of the road.'

Aussie singer puts call out for date while on holiday
Amy Shark may have been absent from the Logies carpet on Sunday night but it appears it was for good reason – the singer was busy searching the web for a dinner date. While holidaying in Wales the I Said Hi songstress, real name Amy Louise Billings, took to TikTok to share a video of her hunting for a guest to join her for some food. 'Hi, I'm Amy and if anyone is in Barry in Wales, I'm just taking myself here for a Sunday roast dinner,' the 38-year-old said in the clip, moving the camera to show her standing outside the town's Wetherspoons — a restaurant chain notorious throughout Britain for their pub feeds and roasts. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. 'I'm by myself, so yeah… I'm a Taurus and…' she proceeds to say before the clip ends. The star captioned the video asking her fans: 'Date night? Anyone?' Comments were quickly flooded with entertained fans, who wished they were able to take the 2023 Logie winner up on her offer. 'I would've brought you a beer if I were there,' one fan lamented. Another joked: 'I'm on the next plane mate 😉'. Some comments were also quick to joke about the singer's choice of holiday spot Barry, a coastal town made famous for being the setting of hit 2000s UK show Gavin and Stacey. 'Go down and see where Gavin and Stacey was filmed,' one comment suggested. Another referenced one of the show's main characters, telling the singer she just needed to 'find Nessa'. Despite the tempting offer, some fans may be disappointed to learn any dinner date they might score with Shark will only be platonic – yes, the Australian Idol judge has been happily married for more than a decade. The eight-time ARIA winner wed financial manager Shane Billings in 2013, with the duo meeting back in 2007 at their joint workplace before Shark's music career took off. Amy Shark and husband Shane Billings` Credit: @shanebillings / Instagram While the star has been notoriously private about her love life through her career, she did share a video of her husband riding a bike earlier this week, joking about still being into him after 'b*nging for over a decade'. The singer is due to return to Australia later this month for a string of shows across the eastern coast.
