Sell out Salon Summit hailed a success

Over 500 salon owners and managers from the UK, Ireland, US, Germany and Finland made the trip to Dublin this week (8th January) for the 4th annual Phorest Salon Owners Summit.

CEO of Phorest Ronan Perceval MC'd the event, commenting:

“This is our biggest and best salon owners summit to date...There has been great excitement building ahead of today's event”.

An impressive line-up of industry and non-industry speakers was headed up by keynote speaker Tabatha Coffey, salon owner, business coach and star of Bravo TV show Tabatha Takes Over. Tabatha drew on her life and industry experiences to motivate, inspire and instill confidence in the delegates to take their businesses to the next level.

Joining Tabatha in the line-up on the main stage were Gavin Hoare, salon manager at Richard Ward Hair and Metrospa, salon business consultant Valerie Delforge who shared practical advice on how to manage and motivate staff your staff for success, and Steve Martin, author and director of Influence At Work.

In addition, delegates participated in several workshops including An Introduction to GDPR Compliance with Patrick Monaghan, Crafting a Successful Work/Life Balance with Chris Brennan, and Salon Merchandising and Visual Identity with Rowena Doyle.

Following the Summit attendees were transported from the Convention Centre to one of Dublin's slickest venues, ‘NoLita', for an evening of food, wine and entertainment, where Tabatha signed copies of her bestselling book ‘Own It!'
