OMC Hairworld World Cup

The world championship of competitive hairdressing, run by the Organisation Mondiale Coiffure and often called the Olympics of hair.

The Organisation Mondiale Coiffure (OMC), a world body of hairdressing associations, runs the Hairworld World Cup, where national teams of hairdressers and barbers compete against the clock. Contestants style live models or mannequin heads in set categories such as ladies' day and evening styles, bridal updos, men's fashion cuts and barbering, and judges score the results. Recent editions have been held in Paris in October; the 2026 cup, marking OMC's 80th year, ran from 10 to 12 October at Porte de Versailles. The 2027 date shown is an estimate until OMC announces it.
