May 10

Written By Professional Beauty Solutions

Six years into Skin Summit and it’s safe to say, it just keeps getting better. Hosted by Professional Beauty Solutions (PBS), the two-day event begun with the Education Day, delivering opportunity for insights, learning, and inspiration via four key sessions aimed at amplifying your business.

Matt and Lisa Williams, owner/operators of PBS, plus the General Manager, Business Development Managers and Marketing team members guided guests on topics such as developing a USP, evolving your mission and values, understanding your numbers to increase profitability, managing your team and finally how to market all of these elements – communicating this to your clients so you and your business continues to thrive.

A big shout out also goes to IMAGE Skincare’s General Manager of International Markets, Denise Dente, who flew in from the USA and informed us on trends and ingredients globally. Major Event Sponsors, Square, presented on their easy (not to mention chic) payment hardware and Vanessa McDonald from Salon Marketing Solutions presented on Skin Journey Marketing.

Guests walked out with the tools (and inspiration) to take their business to the next level, as well as a goodie bag worth over $500 in New Directions Packaging, who sponsored PBS via the incredible event gift bags and boxes.

Sunday’s Aesthetic Device Showcase brought the best in devices, technology, training and education, to all attendees, as well as two new launches, the bt-sculp PRO for the Bio-Therapeutic bt-nano and Bio-Ultimate Platinum platforms, as well as the newest skin needling device, 1Need pro, so watch this space!

Guests were encouraged to explore the latest in technology, view live demonstrations and discover why Radio Frequency, Body Contouring, Laser, IPL, Microcurrent, LED and Skin Needling are some of the most in-demand aesthetic treatments and how they can revolutionise your business.

Last, but not least, culminating what we hope was an enriching weekend of growth and connection, was PBS’s 6th Gala Dinner. Not only boasting delicious food and beverages within the beautiful Ivy Ballroom, but treating guests to the opportunity to celebrate the industry and each other thanks to the 7th annual Salon of The Year Awards.

Complete with the Roaming Disco Ball Girls, dancers, DJ Lavida bringing the good vibes (right down to the very last song - IYKYK), we also had Lucky Door Prizes from Square, plus, Gold Sponsors, Phorest Salon Software and Salon Marketing Solutions. It certainly was a night to remember. And now on to the winners list, topped by the coveted PBS Salon of the Year, Temple Skincare & Spa who took home not one, but four awards!

“This year we managed to bag Salon of the Year, Pollogen Stockist of the Year, IMAGE Skincare Stockist of the Year and Therapist of the Year,” said the incredible owner, Rene. “Thank you so, so much PBS for this honour and for an evening we will never forget. To all the nominees, you make us so humbled to be among so many industry leaders and amazing talents like you. You are the most inspiring people we know.”
