Rainbow room international celebrates 40th year in style

The Rainbow Room International team came together recently to celebrate their 40th anniversary and to enjoy their Annual Congress at the luxurious Airth Castle Hotel and Spa. Team members from Rainbow Room International’s twelve hair and beauty salons arrived for a day of inspirational presentations, hair shows and an awards ceremony packed with recognition and rewards. Owner of Rainbow Room International Alan Stewart opened the day and welcomed everyone to the congress. He congratulated all team members for their hard work and dedication as they reached their 40th Anniversary. During his time on stage, Alan spoke the salon group's vision for client retention and what all the teams can do to ensure their clients continue to come back. Alan then introduced AJC93 PR to the stage who shared coverage statistics and digital video overview of the great exposure Rainbow Room International received last year. Following this Alan Austin- Smith took the stage presenting excerpts from The Fantastic Hairdresser. After this the creative side of the event began. Lesley Jennison, global colour ambassador for Schwarzkopf Professional hit the stage where she showcased on-trend models and talked about catwalk trends and bringing them into the salon and how colour is so important in order to complete a look and how it can be bespoke to each client. In the evening, the teams and invited guests came together for the Rainbow Room International Congress Awards. The awards included Assistant of the Year and Fantastic Hairdresser of the Year through to the sought after Salon Team of the Year award. This year the Salon of the Year Award went to the team at Great Western Road, as well as Diana Carson from the Uddingston salon picking up three awards on the night.
