As I mentioned yesterday, this is my very first Redken Symposium--but as I learned today at the kickoff of the event, this is the 29th one they've done! WOW! Today so far has been so incredible. I've gotten to re-meet so many of the wonderful people who make up the Redken team and I'm so anxious to learn about all the new things they have in store (and, of course, to share that info with you!). Here's the MODERN team with some of the wonderful Redken team, below.

Day 1 Redken Symposium, Plus Video From Backstage!


 The MODERN team began our day bright and early to do some pretty cool interviews with Inspiring World of Redken Artists Ty Isobe and Hugo Arias. They are both from the US and are just so creative, talented, full of passion for the industry and anxious to bring the Redken family more inspiration and collaboration (two of MODERN's most favorite things!). Below is Hugo's interview in action!

Then, all day, I attended the Distributor Sales Consultants meeting--WOW! It was unlike any other DSC meeting I've attended. FULL of recognition awards, fun games, interaction, and, of course, we got the inside scoop on some of the launches Redken and Pureology have in store for 2011--and believe me, they are going to be so awesome! As the launch dates get closer, be sure to look to MODERN for the details!

Throughout the day, though, we've been popping backstage to check out some of the action that we'll see in the big show tonight at the Grand Opening event. Sseriously, this hair is going to freaking awesome! And the models?? Out of this world! Check out the below, quick video--it's only a preview into what we'll be seeing tonight!




So excited about tonight! Will post again ASAP!
