Fresh off the showfloor at the International Salon and Spa Expo in Long Beach, California, I'm feeling excited, I'm feeling eager to visit more booths, and I'm feeling even more passionate! This industry is always changing and there is always something new to learn and it makes every booth an educational experience!
Hello from super sunny California! That's right—the International Salon and Spa Expo, the first industry trade show of the season, has officially kicked off in Long Beach!
The Professional Beauty Association has announced Beauty Systems Group (BSG) will increase its support of the International Salon and Spa Expo to include ISSE Midwest, the PBA’s newest event.
I came back to the “reality” of the office pretty pumped up. It was an outstanding show with great enthusiasm, plenty of activity and some very innovative new products and powerful re-launches.
Held in conjunction with PBA Week (July 21-23, 2012) at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Beacon provides the nation's top future professionals with the guidance to achieve maximum career success.

The North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) has added a new category for 2012: The NAHA Newcomer Stylist of the Year award. To qualify to enter, the entrant must be a licensed cosmetologist with less than three years of professional experience. The new category seeks to recognize a rising talent in the professional hairstyling industry and is meant to bridge the gap between Student Hairstylist of the Year and Hairstylist of the Year.

In 1993, Jill Kohler jumped into the beauty industry as a marketing coordinator at Nexxus, but it was her next job as executive director of The Salon Association (now a branch of the PBA) that she credits with leading her to open her own cosmetology school. “My debt of gratitude is to the hundreds of intelligent salon and spa owners who pushed me, helped me and cajoled me to do things I never thought was possible. Even today, I hear so many of those owners’ voices as I am guiding and coaching students. Every single day my message to our 165+ students is ‘show up early, stay late, work harder and find a way to be a better version of yourself.’”
Serena Chreky might have entered the salon industry out of necessity when her husband Andre opened his own salon and asked for her help, sut she’s certainly made the most of the position. In addition to helping the salon get noticed by media, Chreky founded Salon-A-Thon, an annual 24-hour charity gala that to date has contributed $750,000 to the Children’s Hospital of Washington, D.C.; she was nominated to the board of The Salon Association, and then The Professional Beauty Association; and she established the Mid-Atlantic Salon Owners Network, a group of salon and spa owners from D.C., Maryland and Virginia who meet quarterly to discuss best business practices. And, she helped represented the U.S. in the Women Business Leaders Summit, a private outreach program supported by the U.S. State Department.
MODERN SALON Media sent a team of six editors—Maggie Mulhern, Stacey Soble, Alison Shipley, Lauren Salapatek, Jan Hillenmeyer and myself—to PBA Beauty Week this past weekend, plus a camera crew and photographer to interview industry icons and cover major events. We covered Cosmoprof and events like NAHA, Beacon and City of Hope for MODERN SALON, SALON TODAY, FIRST CHAIR, modernsalon.com, Modern Salon TV, posting stories that span the lifecycle and lifestyle of beauty professionals.
