Three living hair legends with three unique perspectives took to the stage in downtown Los Angeles on November 12 to share their experience and enthusiasm for the beauty industry during the last stop of the R+Co VISION ON Tour. These all-day educational events have been hitting up markets around the country, all year, bringing the talented trifecta of cutting, styling and grooming talent from The Collective: Garren, Howard McLaren and Thom Priano.

Each member of The Collective took legendary hair looks from the past and translated it for the modern-day stylist in an immersive, round-robin style event.  Attendees experienced firsthand their individual approaches to reimagining hair fit for their own favorite hair legends from the ’20s through the ’80s—all with an R+Co twist.
