2014 SUMMIT TALENT PACKED ROSTER FILLED
Many new educators are participating in the 2014 Energizing Summit, as well as your favorite educators of the past years. Haircolor education has many aspects and there are many points of view on the same haircoloring services. Whether you are a beginning haircolorist or veteran, there is always something new to learn.
To often, we get stuck behind our styling chair, surrounded by the same people and never get out among new people to see what is fresh and current. What makes the Energizing Summit unique is that you are learning from your peers.

Summit Welcomes Roy Peters as Master of Ceremony
 "Talent is overrated, just be nice to clients." Roy's opening remarks are something everyone can relate to. Developing a clientele is based more on how you treat a client rather
than your creativity. This is especially true in haircoloring where clients are looking for consistency and reliability.
Keeping the clients' color consistent is not always easy. Let Roy inform you on how this is done. Take it from this world master. He knows what is required to be successful in this competitive arena. Make the most from your trip to the Summit. Roy has made a career of making haircolorists wiser. Don't miss this opening session!

Correcting Haircolor Disasters
Jessee Skittrell, ABCH
This is more than a corrective haircolor class. During this three-hour class, you will learn to deal with the worst of the worst haircolor disasters; everything from consultation to formulation.
Where has the client been?
Where does she want to go? How are you going to get there? Above all, you must be able to learn how to deal with porosity, something that is always present with corrective situations. This class is interactive where you have the opportunity to observe one of the most brilliant educators who still works behind the chair. This is so important in being able to relate to your everyday haircolor challenges.

 Andre is worried...
PBA ad campaign misses the market
Our association that represents cosmetologists (PBA) ran this ad in their ISSE show program. Can you imagine another profession sinking this low to promote professionalism? Can you imagine doctors, nurses, or dentists running an ad like this. It looks like they are recruiting for gangs, not a profession.
It also is rather deceptive, because having a license does not make you a professional. The ad went on to say "You worked hard for it, you earned it. Be proud of your profession." Have you visited a beauty school lately? What they get in beauty school is not work ethic--they get rest fatigue.
Call me an old fuddy duddy but I wouldn't let this guy anywhere near my salon. This looks like an ad for a tattoo parlor. My message to the PBA is to get a new ad agency, because this group is out of touch.
