Red Carpet Dreams come TRUE for Hairstylists! Join me...

Come and take a trip with me....ready?

We are guests at a fabulous event for Cosmetologists at the Downtown Minneapolis Convention Center.  We pull up to the Hilton hotel and the energy has already arrived with the bustle of beautiful women and men - all dressed well with gorgeous hair.

Upon arrival we receive a gift bag so heavy we have permanent shoulder dents from carrying the bags of products and hair supplies back to our luxurious hotel room. We are giddy with delight as we  can't wait to try them out and maybe even share with our friends back home!

Next stop - our first meal. We are surprised to see that we will be dining with 3,000 people total! The room is elegantly put together and the food is so delicious! After dinner we are to meet in another room for the entertainment of Dana Carvey.  We walk in and are greeted with the smell of popcorn and all the candy we can eat, all while we laugh so hard we cry.

The next day begins with great food and amazing speakers. The entire day is filled with education, fun, hair competitions, hair products, energy that only Cosmetologists can bring and an inner peace knowing you just may have the BEST "job" ever.

As day turns to night - it is time to get our evening gowns. From cocktail dresses to ballgowns, we walk into the most gorgeous room filled with unbelievable creativity, beauty, uniqueness and the best people watching event you will ever find!

During the evening we are overwhelmed as the MC's of the night announce award after award recognizing so many for their continued efforts in our profession.  What strikes us is the genuine support and love this group of 3,000 people has for each other. They whistle, cheer and cry in celebration as their friends, managers, leaders, mentors, co-workers and family members get called on stage in recognition.   The night concludes with a dance party and conversation amongst friends.

The next day is a conclusion of the last two days, more awards and a hair show that always brings excitement in our industry! To showcase unique talent and be continuously inspired and send us all back home with a little piece of love, influence, ah-ha moments and forever changed is a mission accomplished!

As we drive home exhausted, yet filled to the brim - I must ask - aren't you glad you came with?

Happy 30th Birthday Great Clips! Thank you for inviting us to celebrate with you!  http://www.salontoday.com/news/Great-clips-172292341.html?ref=341
