More than 60 nail professionals came together for a weekend of education and social interaction at the High Road to Education (HRTE) Buffalo on September 14-15. Hosted by nail tech Tammy Warner, the event featured educators Lorena Marquez, Gina Silvestro, Amy Becker, Traci Dungan, Ami McClure, Joseph Pham, Tammi Merritt, Jennifer Wirth, Victoria Lys Hunter, and Jaime Schrabeck. Said attendee Jessica Jeffords, a newly licensed nail tech, “I wish we could do this every weekend. I learned so many new tips and art forms. I can’t wait to give them all a try.”

The next HRTE will be in Las Vegas on March 15-16, 2015, featuring Catherine Wong and many other leading educators. Future dates and locations will be announced through the group’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/groups/thehrte.
