LONDON, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Hairdresser's Journal is proud to announce the launch of HJi - the new online community for hair professionals. The first stage of the development of HJi is the launch of an online image gallery. With over 2000 high quality images spanning 50 years of great hair styles, the image gallery is designed to be a source of creative inspiration for hairdressers and their clients. Over the coming weeks the image gallery will swell by thousands featuring great hair styles from the leading names in

British and global hairdressing. The site also features a number of news and business blogs.

Publisher/Editor-In-Chief, Jayne Lewis-Orr said: "This is a hugely exciting development for us and the industry as a whole. The blog keeps users up-to-date with the latest hairdressing happenings and news and views whilst the business pages are packed with information and advice. The newly launched Image Gallery is a searchable online archive of the most inspirational hair photographs from the last 50 years. Photographs are constantly being added and users can search by decade, hair length, colour or style - or free search as they wish."
