This year’s Orlando Premiere Beauty Show was bigger and
better than ever before. It also happens to be the biggest beauty show put on
in the country every year. Premiere also puts on Premiere Columbus and Premiere
Birmingham which are always the largest every year followed by Orlando. The
show floor has a mass amount of exhibits from booths on salon software,
building business, color manufacturers, salon furniture, and of course my
favorite booths on face and body products. I actually spent a bit of time in
the PCA (Physician's Choice of Arizona Company) booth looking at all of their new products, wishing I could own all of
them.
Additionally, there are stages for all categories of beauty
such as hair color, hair design, makeup, and many more. Many people come to
watch experienced professionals share their knowledge on their spin on their talented
skill. There were even some special events such as fashion shows by Paul
Mitchell and Keratin Complex that are always exciting to watch. I had one of my
color conversation lectures on one of the color stages on Sunday morning. The
audience was filled with over 200 talented hairdressers; it’s always rewarding
to share my knowledge with them.
In even another section of the convention center where
Orlando Premiere show was held, there were many classrooms where you could take
a class on basically anything you wanted to learn or increase your skill on. I
had two classes of my own just like most of the shows I go to about my Haircolor
Applications, Techniques, and Trademarks. When I was not teaching my classes I got
to sit in a class through a company called Summit. The class was on business building
which was refreshing to listen to new ideas and reinstate others. Christina the
teacher spoke on topics such as the front desk, customer service, and livelihood
of a successful business. It really helped me take a look inside my own
business to make changes to improve and make it the best it can be.
Overall the weekend at Orlando Premiere Beauty Show was a
great one. I had a great lecture and two, three hour hands on classes. It’s always
rewarding to me to help other hairdressers think differently about hair color.
