Widely acclaimed as a "Pioneer and Pathfinder" in the industry, Ms. Yip Wai Man founded Hong Kong Lianda Beauty Group in 1979, developing it into a world-leading R&D and manufacturing enterprise specializing in mannequin heads for hairdressing training. In 2010, she initiated the establishment of AHMA and led the organization of landmark events such as the 2018 Hong Kong Hairdressing & Styling Art Festival and the 2024 Greater Bay Area Cup, building a vital bridge for exchanges between the Greater Bay Area and the international market.

She also serves as a Special Vice President of the China Hairdressing and Beauty Association, among other key roles. Upholding the philosophy of "Passing the Torch," she has fostered young talents through initiatives such as establishing special funds and collaborating with educational institutions. In 2014, she spearheaded a charitable donation of HK$1 million to the Hong Kong Design Institute to support student development.
Commenting on her appointment, Ms. Yip Wai Man stated, "AH SHOW is a platform that gathers innovative forces in the beauty industry. I hope to integrate AHMA's philosophy of 'Rooted in Craftsmanship, Innovating with Creativity' into the event and contribute to the growth of young talents." The organizers of AH SHOW noted that Ms. Yip Wai Man's participation will enhance the event's authority and promote the construction of a closed-loop ecosystem encompassing "Competition - Training - Employment."
This collaboration represents the in-depth integration of industry resources and marks a new starting point for the development of the Greater Bay Area's beauty industry. Looking ahead, the two parties will leverage creativity and technology as wings to jointly write a brilliant new chapter for the Greater Bay Area's beauty sector.
