MODERN SALON's next Artist Session photo shoot workshop is coming up April 9 and 10 in New York City, and invites YOU to be a part of it.
This one is particularly special and exciting. In addition to teaching and then guiding you how to create award-winning, cover-worthy photographs, experts from the YouTube Space NYC will be teaching how, and why, you should have a professional YouTube channel.
This is a BIG DEAL in the salon industry. YouTube isn't just for creating those viral moments, but also building your brand and showcasing your expertise, resulting in enticing more clients to make an appointment to see you.
If you master your video skills and capture a community on YouTube, you can even MAKE MONEY from your tutorials (think about superstar and our friend Guy Tang). Show your clients, and potential clients, what you know and let them be impressed by your technical expertise.
Come and learn best practices, when and how often to post, and how to increase engagement. We will have experts on hand to teach video tips and tricks, what equipment you need and how to edit. You will see an industry icon in action, and get a chance to tour the state-of-the-art YouTube Space in Chelsea.
