BluSky Brands 2024 ABC Convention
You are cordially invited to join us for two days of Education, Inspiration, and Relaxation.
When? Sunday October 6th and Monday October 7th 2024
Where? The amazing Lion Quays Hotel & Spa Resort in Shropshire
Please scroll below for full itinerary.
On day one, arrive at your leisure, for a mid-afternoon start, but why not arrive early and enjoy everything the resort has to offer, indulge yourself and relax, choose from the gardens, pool, spa, canal-side walks, leisure centre or restaurants or maybe just the privacy of your suite before.
We begin with a “meet and greet” and then you will be truly inspired by
Mark Westbrook
Dry Carving™
Mark understands hair growth, growth patterns, speed of growth, growth disorders and how hair falls naturally when dry. Dry Carving™ creates organic movement in a style that is more aerated, durable and long lasting.
‘Dry Carving’ is based on the philosophy that hair falls differently when wet than when dry. Cutting hair when dry allows the stylist complete control over the movement of the hair as the hair falls into shape.
This allows the stylist to ‘carve’ or ‘sculpt’ shapes that are impossible with wet hair. This creates a natural shape according to the way your hair grows, achieving a better haircut. Hair will blend more naturally, keep its shape and grow out beautifully.
Mark will go through, all of the Technical and Artistic details of this amazing technique.
You will then have a few hours to indulge yourself and relax, choose from the gardens, pool, spa or privacy of your suite before the gala dinner.
The evening sees the Black & White Gala Dinner, along with the announcement of the winners of the BluSky “Create Your Look” competition (who will have their creations showcased)
There will also be a mock casino, music and dancing for your enjoyment, but don’t party too hard because you will not want to miss any of day two!
On Monday, we turn artistic and creative, and we begin in the morning with the following presenter:
