In an effort to continually provide education, best practices, peer networking and business support for salon/spa leaders and beauty professionals, The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) is hosting one-day Regional Salon Summits (RSS) across the U.S. The first RSS event was held in Minneapolis, MN in April. The two remaining RSS events will take place in Las Vegas, NV on Sunday, July 14, 2013 (as part of PBA Beauty Week) and in Boston, MA on September 9, 2013.
Each session during the day-long summits will be led by highly qualified and respected industry leaders and consultants. Discussion topics range from marketing and staff development to business management and government affairs and are designed to assist salon owners and beauty professionals to elevate their business, careers, and our industry as a whole with practical information they can readily apply.
