The webinar will be rescheduled for a future date. We apologize for the inconvenience and late notice.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s CEA & AMP Annual Convention last week in Las Vegas, NV! From our Event Sponsors, Industry Partners, Speakers and Attendees – we couldn’t have had such a successful event without your passion and dedication to the industry.

We hope you left feeling inspired to go back to your school and utilize the new tools and techniques you learned at the convention. Whether you’re introducing new barbering curriculum from Pivot Point, utilizing new educational games from Milady, or using marketing calendars from Prosper U – we are confident that your new skills will help you in enriching the lives of your students.

Congratulations to Emily Huor, a cosmetology student from Cerritos Beauty Academy in Cerritos, CA for winning first place in the 2018 Junior Style Stars competition! This year’s contestants created a series of High-Fashion Updo’s on mannequins, complete with makeup, hair color, and jewelry. Emily’s detailed work blew away the judges, and even captivated the audience at the CEA & AMP Annual Convention while on display.
