Award-winning celebrity hairstylist Faatemah has been tapped to bring her retro hair glam prowess to the International Salon and Spa Expo (ISSE), January 26-27, 2014 in Long Beach, CA. Dubbed the “Diana Ross” of the professional hair world by ISSE, Faatemah will lead two of her signature workshops, “RetroEvolution” and “Trending With Texture”.
“The ISSE is the largest professional shopping and educational beauty event on the West Coast,” said Faatemah. “I participate every year because I love sharing trends with other beauty professionals. When I’m not on stage, you can catch me attending a class or shopping for the newest innovations in beauty on the showroom floor. I am always stalking beauty!”
Faatemah’s “RetroEvolution” will showcase classic silhouettes and styles inspired from the past with a modern twist — including how to translate these retro styles intro bridal, special occasion, and editorial hair. “Trending With Texture” will help take away the fears many stylists have of working with multi-ethnic hair. This will help position them to gain an important skill in the midst of an ever-growing multicultural demographic.
Produced by the Professional Beauty Association, ISSE Long Beach is well-known for its pure inspiration, knowledge, and passion. The annual beauty professional event attracts nearly 400,000 beauty professionals for educational classes, live stage performances and hair competitions.
This year, the event has been amped up to a total beauty event, including nail, cosmetic and esthetic education, along with a sold-out expo floor of more than 350 top international beauty brands, including Aveda, Conair, Moroccanoil, OPI Products Inc.,Vidal Sassoon and Wella Professional.
“RetroEvolution” takes place Sunday, January 26, 2:30 – 3:15pm on the NAHA stage; “Trending With Texture” takes place Monday, January 27, 12:00 – 1:30pm, Room 203B.
The workshops are included with admission to ISSE. Register online at http://probeauty.org/tickets/isselb.
