The Boston Area played host to the first of several planned Professional Beauty Association (PBA) Regional Salon Summits in September. Designed to help salon owners and beauty professionals elevate their businesses, careers, and our industry as a whole, each summit will feature various sessions ranging from business management and tax planning to marketing and staff development. Networking with other salon professionals will also take place so that attendees can learn from one another and discuss common interests in a relaxed format.

 “PBA recognizes not all salon owners and personnel are able to attend our major industry events. With the Regional Salon Summits, we are able to provide more intimate, high-quality education and business development opportunities and help area beauty professionals connect,” says Jessi Marshall, PBA’s director of industry programs and education.

Look for future Regional Salon Summits in the Midwest (spring 2013), West Coast (summer 2013), and back on the East Coast (fall 2013).
