The HAIR+ Summit is part of MODERN SALON’s initiative to create a community of like-minded stylists who are passionate about helping their clients—and those who might not yet be their clients. After a very successful 2016 event, the HAIR+ Summit is returning to the Hilton Atlanta Northeast on September 24-26 this year.

“This is the opportunity of a lifetime for those select people who want to change clients from the inside and also profit,” says Jeffrey Paul of Jeffrey Paul for Restoring Beautiful Hair Salon. Paul is also the founder of Wigs for Kids, a nonprofit that provides custom-made hair-replacement systems at no cost to children losing their hair due to medical reasons.

Attendees can expect to learn about hair thinning and loss from all sides—technical, business and medical. Between presentations and during lunch breaks, attendees have the opportunity to connect personally with HAIR+ Summit sponsors.

The 2017 HAIR+ Summit will include content for both the beginning and advanced HAIR+ stylist. All content will be salon-specific and provide practical and useful ways to build the business you have in the category or start from scratch.

Some of the topics being addressed include:

• Understanding your hair-loss/hair-enhancement client
