TICKETS BOOKED? TIME TO MAX OUT YOUR SALON SMART EXPERIENCE
You’ve got your ticket and have probably already perused our amazing line up of speakers and creative talent taking centre stage at Salon Smart, so the question is now…how best to eke out every last minute to your benefit? Here’s our handy guide to maximising your experience…
Don’t cut your time short
Of course you don’t want to think about leaving before you’ve even arrived but we’re well aware that trains home need booking in advance! Avoid major FOMO by allowing plenty of time after Sam McKnight’s incredible finale to catch your carriage home – believe us, you don’t want to skimp on time to network with this Hair Icon.
Pre-book Parking
There’s no on-site parking at the hotel, so don’t waste precious minutes or cause yourself unneeded angst by leaving finding a space to chance. Car Spa Logistics provides valet parking for Park Plaza Riverbank guests, for more info call 020 7989 0410. Alternatively, hit up the hotel concierge team on 020 7958 8000 for local car parking information.
Treat yourself to an upgrade
2018 is all about self-care, so take this opportunity to give yourself a treat and upgrade your hotel room – you deserve it! Revel in the luxury of the Executive Riverview room for just £35 plus VAT or go one step further with the Suite Riverview for £50 plus VAT, with a separate living and bedroom you’ll have oodles of space to chill out in your free time.
Get your gladrags on
We want you to feel relaxed and comfortable throughout Salon Smart, so there’s no set dress code, however for those that want to inject a bit of glam into the occasion (which you all do sooo well), the Meet & Mix and dinner on Sunday evening are the perfect opportunity to whip out your finery.
Working Lunch…there’s nowhere you’d rather be
In addition to refuelling for the Monday afternoon (NB: we’ll be serving HOT nosh) there are many more reasons why you shouldn’t miss the Working Lunch. Alongside networking with leading hair and business brands including L’Oréal Professionnel, 3•6•5 Education, Salon Success, Tangle Teezer, SalonIQ, Maletti, Mindbody, Mutu, Prostyles, Treatwell, Oway and the NHF, there will be live hair demos and some not-to-be-missed surprises…
Network to your heart’s content
Throw away any inhibitions, Salon Smart is the ideal time to get face-to-face with our awesome line-up of presenters such a Sally and Jamie Brooks, Larry King, Skyler McDonald and Sam McKnight, who you’ll catch mingling off-stage. Not to mention, it’s the prime time to catch-up with fellow salon owners and industry buffs.
Got a burning business question?
Salon Smart’s the place to ask it. Hop over to the Live Panel Debates on Sunday (16.50) and Monday (14.15) respectively, prepped with your must-asks! The topics are ‘taking control of business’ and ‘only the young’ – sure to spark serious conversation!
Grab a goody bag
You don’t want to forget your Salon Smart goody bag and no, not just for the swag. Included will be copies of the speaker notes, serving as useful reminders of the tips and tricks you’ve heard throughout the event.
You’ve got your ticket and armed with these insider tips we hope you can elevate your Salon Smart experience to the max! Looking forward to seeing you there.
