Leading recruitment platform Canvas ME has joined forces with Sola Salons, the popular community of independent beauty professionals, to offer one student and one licensed professional each an all-expense paid trip to Sola Sessions, set to take place on June 18-21 in Austin, TX. This three-day educational event will feature many of the beauty industry's most dynamic and inspiring educators and change-makers. Application deadline is April 15, 2023.

Full Access

While this event is open exclusively to Sola professionals, the opportunity that Canvas ME and Sola are offering will grant full access of this industry-leading proprietary event to the two winners. The trip includes airfare, hotel accommodations at Hotel VanZandt, business and technical education, and attendance at the speakers' presentations. The winners will be able to learn from top industry experts and network with other beauty professionals. 

Matt+Jen Martinelli, co-founders of Canvas ME, state: "At Canvas ME, we are dedicated to helping industry professionals ‘find their people’—the people who inspire them, the people who encourage them, and the people who will support them in achieving their goals. Sola Salons shares similar values by providing their Sola professionals with the education and inspiration they need to have long-lasting and successful careers in the beauty salon space. We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with Sola and offer this opportunity to one student and one licensed pro to learn and grow alongside some of the industry’s best, at Sola Sessions 2023.”
