Phorest Salon Owners’ Summit welcomes more than 500 delegates

“Power up” was the theme of Phorest’s Salon Owners’ Summmit this year, with speakers sharing inspiration to help delegates become more profitable in their beauty businesses.

The salon software brand held its annual event at Dublin’s Convention Centre in January, welcoming more than 500 delegates.

Speakers included hair salon owner Christina Kreitel, who has a successful Instagram presence and shared advice on how to use the social media platform to attract new clients, as well as salon coach David Barnett, who talked about how he built a culture within his business that staff wanted to be a part of. There were also business workshops covering leadership and teambuilding. Salon owners and managers made up the majority of attendees, visiting Dublin from the UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Australia, Germany and Finland.
