Salon Owners Summit 2017 Recap: In Your Own Words

Posted on the 15 January 2017 by Jennquinn

Now that the Salon Owners Summit is all wrapped up and you’ve all gone back with plenty of inspiration for the present year, we thought we’d make a Salon Owners Summit 2017 Recap. It was a truly inspiring and motivational day and we want to say thanks to all of you, without whom this event wouldn’t have been the success it was! So just like last year, this piece is a tribute to our amazing clients. Hope you enjoy!

Salon Owners Summit 2017 Recap

This year’s Summit theme was ‘Team Building: Creating a Culture of Initiative in Your Salon’. For the occasion, Gill Morris, Andy Bounds, Richard Mullender and Mary Portas showcased world leading techniques on how to build, motivate and work together with a team that cares about and wants to work towards your vision.

Pre-Summit Tours & Event

First things first. There were four different tours available: the Dublin Pub Crawl, the Guinness Storehouse Tour, the Walking Tour of Dublin and the Teeling Distillery Tour. All good craic – make sure you don’t miss out next year!

So, for those who don’t know, the Mannequin Challenge is a recent viral Internet video trend. The goal is to have people pose like mannequins while a moving camera films them. As you might have seen on Facebook, one of our clients suggested we did our own version of the challenge at the pre-Summit pub crawl on Sunday… and so we did! Here’s the result!

Of course, then the Sunday pre-party came to an end and it was time to kickoff THE day everyone was waiting for. After the 10:00 am check-in and Ronan Perceval opening speech, the Tweets and Instagram posts came flooding in. So we turned that into a video as well (because videos are just more fun, no?).

We’ve also uploaded all the photos from the event, click here to check them out!
