Hosted by Jon Gonzales, President of Hairdresser Career Development Systems
The purpose of this Salon Owner’s Summit Conference Cruise to the Eastern Caribbean is to open a forum and form a united front in addressing the many deep rooted challenges and obstacles that are affecting our salons, our profession, and our standard of living.
You will have an opportunity to voice your concerns in round table discussions of topics with other salon owners that are affecting your businesses. Salon owners sharing their vast real world experiences and knowledge will be invaluable
“Salon Owners Learning from Salon Owners” will be our theme. Who better understands our educational and business needs better than those of us working daily in our salons.
In today’s changing economy, it is time for change, solutions, and redirection. It is time to unite. I will moderate the following topics and offer my opinions as well.
