MY SALON Suite, a co-working style space where salon professionals provide beauty services to their clients in private, fully equipped, custom suites, announced Houston Stylist and MY SALON Suite member Jennifer Slim as the winner of its 2022 #Suitesweepstakes contest.
The contest, which was announced this spring, invited all of MY SALON Suite’s 6,000 beauty professional members to submit a video or reel highlighting their suite in a fun and unique way. Slim’s video was selected from about 800 submissions for the grand prize — complimentary airfare and lodging for two to attend Premiere Orlando, the largest beauty tradeshow in the country. Slim and her assistant, Paulina Hoang also had the unique opportunity to connect with top manufacturers and distributors across the beauty industry at the three-day event, which took place June 4-6.
“We were beyond thrilled to attend this year’s Premiere Orlando — THE tradeshow in the beauty industry and the best place to learn from and network with the top experts in the business,” said Jennifer Slim, owner of The Hues Studio in Houston. “I’m so grateful to MY SALON Suite for the opportunity to learn new trends and techniques, expand my professional network and further develop my expertise as a stylist.”
