Attention artists, salon leaders and aspiring changemakers. It’s time to put together your growth plan for 2019, and if you’re committed to becoming a better version of yourself, here’s an event you cannot afford to miss. The 2019 Eufora Global Connection, held February 10 and 11 in San Diego, CA, is a one-of-a-kind educational and inspirational gathering, (we know, we’ve been there.) and you owe it to yourself to be part of this transformational experience. The Eufora family is one of the most caring, loving and talented groups of people in the industry, and everyone who attends Global Connection is welcomed into the tribe. And here’s an important tip: if you register before October 31, you’ll save up to $100 on admission! So do this for you. If you do, your heart, your mind and your career will thank you! Register now. 

Here are eight more reasons to head to San Diego for Global Connection!

The Education is 360 Degrees. Eufora’s educators offer everything a salon professional needs to thrive—from technical training for cutting, coloring and styling; business sessions covering leadership, consultation and change; product chemistry and more. It’s all on offer at Global Connection, so absorb as much as you can!

There Will Be an Off-the-Chain Creative Mainstage Presentation. Hairstyling icon and Eufora Creative Director Philip Carreon is busy preparing a creative presentation he promises will rock your world. In case you don’t know—Philip has spent 30 years working in salons and on set. Flip through his portfolio and you’ll see Anne Hathaway, Meg Ryan, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Winona Ryder, Courtney Cox and Demi Moore.  There is an army of Eufora top educators working to bring this production to life, so prepare for greatness!

Two Words: Heather Yurko. You may not know that name today, but once you experience the session this Eufora Business Trainer has put together for Global Connection, you’ll never forget it. Heather’s program is called “Real Recognize Real” and she promises it will change the way you see yourself and your career.

14 Breakouts Mean Up Close and Personal Learning. It’s fun to feel the energy from mainstage presentations, but smaller breakouts are where the real learning happens—the kind you can take back to the salon. This year Eufora is going all out with 14 breakout sessions—nine technical sessions and five business sessions. Tech breakouts include sessions on dry cutting, precision cutting, razor cutting, balayage and editorial styling. Intriguing business sessions will cover how to understand your customers’ minds and how to accelerate salon profits. (See the entire agenda here)

A Keynote You’ll Never Forget. He’s an artist, a motivator, an author and a philanthropist. Above all Erik Wahl is one of a kind, and he’s bringing his unique vision on creativity and entrepreneurship to Global Connection. Audiences have called his presentations “jaw-dropping,” “brilliant” and “epic.” Prepare to unthink and reimagine your life.

If You Enter the Eufora Stylist of the Year Contest, You Might Pick Up an Award. The competition is on now, and with seven categories to enter, you just could be a winner. Or as Eufora’s Jeffrey Mayo puts it, “if you have that award-winning itch, pick your poison, choose your muse, and design your dream!” The winners will be announced, and prizes awarded, at the live gala ceremony, held on Sunday, February 10 during the event. Entry deadline is December 14, 2018 so it’s time to get busy and get creative! 

Because its February and San Diego. There seriously is no place more beautiful in the month of February than this city by the sea in Southern California. If you’re traveling from a colder, wintery place, stash your coat and boots and enjoy a few glorious days of sunshine and warmth. It will be exactly the psychic and physical break you need. Treat yourself!

And Finally, You Will Be Touched by Something That Makes You Greater Than When You Arrived. That’s the mission and promise of the caring folks at Eufora, a sentiment forged by the late Eufora Founder Don Bewley and one that has remained the Eufora philosophical foundation from day one. You’ll feel that commitment the moment you arrive, and it will stay with you. Promise.
