MODERN SALON is bringing its signature Boot Camp event on October 25 to Philadelphia, PA, designed to help hairstylists and beauty professionals grow their business, increase revenue, and build sustainable, fulfilling careers. This one-day immersive experience blends practical business strategies with personal development, giving attendees actionable tools they can implement immediately behind the chair and beyond.

Philadelphia will also be the celebration of the MODERN SALON 100, a group of honorees selected by the MODERN SALON team, and recognized for their artistry, their attitude, and their contributions to the industry. This is not a competition, it's a celebration. These 100 artists are hairstylists, nail technicians, barbers, established beauty pros, and up-and-comers. Every year, that list of 100 is shared online, on social, inside an issue of MODERN SALON and we love hosting a special party for these talented pros and their people.

MODERN SALON Boot Camp Philadelphia and the MODERN SALON 100 Celebration will take place October 25, 2026, at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue.

Why Attend MODERN SALON Boot Camp?

Today's beauty professionals need more than technical skills to succeed. From pricing services and managing clients to building a personal brand and navigating social media, running a thriving beauty business requires a well-rounded approach. MODERN SALON Boot Camp Philadelphia is built to deliver real education for real careers.

This event is designed for hairstylists, suite renters, salon owners, and independent beauty pros who want to:

• Future-proof their business with new services and industry insights
• Build a strong personal brand that attracts ideal clients
• Take control of social media instead of feeling controlled by it

More Than Education—It's Community

One of the most powerful parts of MODERN SALON Boot Camp is the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals. Whether you're early in your career or a seasoned stylist, you'll leave with:

• New industry connections
• Fresh motivation and inspiration
• Practical strategies you can implement immediately
• A stronger sense of direction for your career

Who Should Attend?

This event is ideal for:

• Hairstylists and colorists, nail techs and barbers, estheticians and tattoo artists—in short, any beauty pro!
