2010 launched with thebeautybook, all new nailco gold and incredibly the January/February issue of The Industry Source magazine, the #1 business publication for the pro beauty industry.

We refined the magazine for 2010 to include more stories about our customers and getting our readers more insight into what salon owners are thinking. Don’t worry, business stories abound and we know from many of our customers that they read the magazine from start to finish.

Kemon will continue to be a featured section as more and more hairdressers and colorists across the USA use and experience Kemon products. You will read real stories how Kemon has changed the salon’s perspective and why they are excited once again about pro products.

Also new for 2010 is a complete education calendar featuring both The Academy and S.P.A. Since we offer many unique courses throughout the year and offer CEU credits for many states, we had many requests to include this information. It’s gratifying to know that many professionals come from all over the USA to attend our courses.

Later this year, we will put the entire magazine online and also feature previous articles. I’ll keep you posted when this will happen.

In the meantime, the magazine continues to be complimentary to nailco gold members or $24.95 for an annual subscription. For more info, click on http://www.tngworldwide.com/content/magazine.

As always, your comments are appreciated. Enjoy.

Happy Wednesday!

When It Comes to Education, TNG Rocks!

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

 

In the midst of the worse recession; in the middle of the slowest month of the year; and when most people are taking vacation days, TNG rocked yesterday like it was the era of prosperity.

The day started with our Kemon on Tour event at the Taylor store. Aaron Michael and Randy once again wowed the group. It was intriguing to witness hairdressers actually learning something new that they thought they mastered over the past 30 years.

We had veterans of 36, 29, 27 and 19 years. Most used Matrix and L’Oreal products and complained about gray coverage, shine and fading. But along the way, they learned about technique, chemistry, color wheels, tone-on-tones, lifting, highlighting, bleach, and most of all, they learned themselves hands-on.

They all fell in love with Kemon. But what I think hairdressers like these are really falling in love with is that someone cares enough to reach out to them and get them excited about color and products again. And even veterans are finally coming around and saying "it’s not too late to learn."

And that’s what I’m most excited about. The Academy was hopping all day with the Kemon "Bob" course. Over 50 were on hand to learn from our Bob experts, Janan Delly and Denisa Cito (Michigan Hairdresser of the Year).

In the S.P.A. Academy, a be PRO advanced makeup workshop was going on where makeup artists were learning new tricks of the trade.

The grand finale was the Moroccanoil launch event at night. I grilled cheeseburgers and salmon burgers while Liz and Dan took care of the details. Anthony, MO’s guest artist dazzled the audience with his 7 languages and humor to go along with the languages. The 150 in the audience soaked up the knowledge and left energized and excited. Special guests on hand were Miss Michigan, Nicole Blaszczyk, as well as Jon Jordan, fashion reporter for WDIV Channel 4.

All in all, nearly 250 industry peers sought out to learn something new, get motivated about their careers and bring a new level of excitement to their salons. When it comes to education, TNG rocks.

Happy Tuesday!
