SEARCHThis weekend I head to the port of Long Beach for the first spin of the show season, the International Salon Spa Expo. I don’t know about you, but unless I make a plan, when I get to an expo the tide carries me away. I wind up not seeing, learning, and meeting the people I wanted. So, here is my attack plan for the weekend.
