From Eau Claire to Chicago: My Weekend at America’s Beauty Show

Hey everyone, I am Meg Ann Lee and if you ever wondered what type of continued education your hairstylist takes I'm here to show you, CHICAGO STYLE ! This week on the blog I am taking you with me to America's Beauty Show 2025 hosted in Chicago!

This past weekend, I packed my bags and hit the road from Eau Claire to Chicago for the American Beauty Show-one of the biggest events in our industry. It's always exciting to step out of the salon and into a space filled with so much energy, innovation, and inspiration.

I spent most of my time diving into education classes, soaking up new techniques, product knowledge, and business tips that I can bring back to the salon. From advanced color theory to fresh cutting methods, every class reminded me just how important it is to keep learning. The hair industry never stops evolving, and staying on top of education is the key to giving clients the best service and results.

When I wasn't in a class, I was walking the trade show floor-browsing new tools, watching live demos, and connecting with other stylists and brands. It's always a little surreal to be surrounded by so many professionals who are just as passionate about beauty as I am.

Trips like this fuel my creativity and sharpen my skills, which ultimately makes me a better stylist and salon co-owner. Continuing education isn't optional in this industry-it's a must. And honestly, it's part of what keeps the work exciting.

Looking forward to bringing all this knowledge home to moss hair salon! <3
