Stalkapalooza: ISSE Edition
The International Salon and Spa Expo presented by the Professional Beauty Association is one of our very favorite events each year and really kicks off “show season” for us. Over the last 5 years, we have shared survival guides, packing guides, education lists… This year we wanted to put together something very simple for you because the very best parts of ISSE are often the connections you make not just the classes and sweet deals on products.
This year we want to encourage Nerds to really get out there and stalk your favorite #hairlebrities. The industry is evolving and your favorite hairdressers from instagram are going to be on stages on the show floor. Meet and Greets are everywhere and all our forever favorites are on stage.
Get ready for #HairNerd paradise this weekend, friends!
