Just Back From the Haircolor Conference in LA

Throngs of haircolorists met in Los Angeles to attend the ninth annual Energizing Summit. The Summit is sponsored by the American Board of Certified Haircolorists, an organization of haircolorists whose mission is to raise the degree of expertise of haircolorists around the country.

The Energizing Summit is a high-level haircolor conference where individuals learn about the latest techniques and products. Our Co-owner/Stylist Connie Koehnke attended and was thrilled with the number and variety of classes available.

Connie says, “I saw things at the conference I have never seen before, and I have been a stylist for 30-years. The class I enjoyed the most was on the Balayage technique. The number of people teaching this hands-on class made it really easy to learn. (There were two teachers for each student!) I also enjoyed the haircolor forum, where a panel of haircolor experts were willing to answer questions the audience posed to them. The information was amazing. The best part of the conference was that it was not sponsored by any manufacturer, so all of the information was generic, basic hair color theory knowledge to use with any color line.”

“At the end of the Summit I was excited to get back to the Hair Connection in Neenah, to share the knowledge with the rest of our team. There were so many classes I would have enjoyed taking, but didn’t have the time. I would definitely recommend this Summit to any haircolorist.”
