YOU NEED TO BE THERE… #JUSTSAYING
Ten seriously good reasons to attend Salon Smart 2019
1. Get real, tried-and-tested ideas for your salon
Take inspiration from a host of salon owners, each with their own unique story. Find out how they’ve tackled the issues you’re struggling with, or get an important heads-up on what’s coming next. Trust us, this stuff is absolutely priceless.
2. See how you measure up
Equally, Salon Smart is as much about that little shiver of excitement when you’re listening to a presentation and you realise you’ve been doing it right all this time (and maybe even a little bit better than everyone else!)
3. Have fun
Yes, Salon Smart is all about business. But at Creative HEAD we like to mix business with pleasure. So as well as the workshops, debates and presentations, there’s the chance to dress up, have a glass of fizz and sit back and enjoy some live hair work that’s straight out of the top drawer. And we always make sure the hotel bar stays open till late…
4. It’s all about the networking
You’ll meet loads of other salon owners, just like you and have plenty of opportunities to sit down, chat and share tips, advice and stories. So whether it’s your first time at Salon Smart, or you’re a returning guest, we guarantee you’ll make new friends and contacts that will impact positively on your life for years to come.
5. See Luke Hersheson in action
He’s one of the most accomplished session stylists in the UK, but he has NEVER done hair live onstage in front of an audience. Salon Smart 2019 is your chance to witness a world-exclusive as Luke Hersheson demonstrates the talents and skills that he uses backstage for the biggest fashion designers in the game (not to mention British, Amerian, French and Italian Vogue…). We. Cannot. Wait.
6. Enjoy a good debate
We love a bit of audience participation at Salon Smart, so make sure you make yourself heard in our live debates and Q&A sessions.
7. Apprentices. Apprentices. Apprentices…
Meet the salon owner who can’t find them, the educator tasked with training them, and the industry advocate working through all the government red tape. There’s been so much change – and everyone is affected. Hopefully Salon Smart 2019 is where you’ll find some answers.
8. Grab a bargain
At the Working Lunch session we’ll introduce you to brands who can help you with your salon systems, improve your retail and boost your colour business. There’ll be on-stand demos, opportunities to browse, and lots of exclusive Salon Smart deals to take advantage of!
9. Be star struck (in all the best ways!)
Meet & Mix is your chance to talk one-on-one with the Salon Smart speakers you’ll see onstage. Lee Stafford, Sophia Hilton and Ky Wilson have all been on hand in years gone by – we’ll be announcing this year’s star-studded line-up in the next few weeks.
10. The Salon Smart goody bag
It’s packed full of gifts from our sponsors and you’ll get a full set of speaker notes too, which is incredibly helpful. Pick one up as you leave on Monday…
