Top ten reasons to visit salon international 2010

Not booked your ticket to Salon International 2010 yet? Here are 10 reasons why you would be a fool to miss out.

• There's nowhere else like it
  
  Salon International is the biggest show of its kind in the UK, making it the destination exhibition for the hairdressing industry.



• Hundreds of products, equipment and services
  
  With around 200 exhibitors, Salon International is the place to be to find the latest and greatest products, equipment, furniture and new technology all under one roof. In one visit, you could choose a product range, plan a salon redesign, and talk about all your computer system needs.



• ExCeL London is better than ever
  
  This year, Salon International has a new home. It's still at London's state-of-the-art venue, ExCeL, but this year the UK's leading exhibition for the hairdressing industry will be housed at the East side of the centre, which has just benefited from a £160m expansion programme. The improved site offers more space and superior catering facilities to ensure your visit is as enjoyable as possible.



• It's a great place to network
  
  With thousands of hairdressers, salon owners, manufacturers and other industry folk descending on ExCeL over the three days of Salon International, it represents the ultimate networking experience. Take advantage of the opportunity to share ideas and make some lifelong business acquaintances.



• The Salon Live Shows
  
  For the ultimate in creative inspiration, look no further than the Salon Live Shows. With a line-up that includes artistic teams from Toni & Guy and Sassoon Academy; Robert Cromeans, presented by Paul Mitchell; and Tim Hartley, presented by Davines, every show will deliver a genuine wow factor. Guaranteed to prove just as enlightening will be shows from hairdressing's next generation - TIGI's Inspirational Youth and Future Creatives by Sassoon Academy.



• Business Extra
  
  Take away a wealth of facts and advice to help boost your business from the Business Extra conferences, sponsored by SalonGenius. Eight&four will advise on how to exploit the social networking phenomenon; successful salon chain owner Sean Hanna will talk brand-building; Nergish Wadia-Austin will stress the importance of client service; while motivating your team will form the core of Scottish salon group owner Jon MacLeod's presentation.

The team from Mahogany will launch its Spring/Summer 2011 collection; the Saco international creative team will present a series of seminars to celebrate the launch of its new collection; while legendary platform artist Robert Cromeans will inspire hairdressers and salon owners to take a completely new approach to how they work, and reap the rewards.
