The inaugural Iles Formula Masterclass for salon professionals was held on Sunday, April 30th at the Kimpton Everly Hotel in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The
event was hosted by celebrity hairstylist and founder of Iles Formula, Wendy Iles with guest artists Victoria Hunter, Celebrity Colorist and Founder of
Whittemore House Hair Paint, Benjamin Mohapi, Celebrity Hairstylist and Founder of Benjamin Salons LA + NYC, and Andy LeCompte, Celebrity Hairstylist and Founder of the Andy LeCompte Salon in LA, all of whom were amongst the very first Iles Formula salons when the brand first launched.
