12th annual ABCH Energizing Summit
June 10-12, 2012 in Los Angeles
 
The 12th annual Energizing Summit was a huge success with over 600 colorists attending! Colorists came from all over the United States and from abroad. We had colorists fly in from Peru!
The opening cocktail party Saturday night was a big hit and stylists lingered in the beautiful warm weather, catching up with old friends and making new ones.  
The Color Forum offered two panels- business and science, which allowed the audience to ask many questions and our panel of experts to weigh in with valuable insight. 
Thanks to all who participated in this amazing event.

 She is definitely embracing the "hands-on"  classes. 

Modern Salon covered the Summit

 

Modern Salon sent a reporter, Tina Allen, to cover the Energizing Summit and posted a short blurb about our event in their Beauty News section of the Modern Salon website. They posted 7 photos, and three videos- an interview with a Summit attendee, Andre's interview with Gordon Miller, and a portion of David Velasco's class.
