KEVIN.MURPHY Strengthens New England Presence Through New Partnership with Sullivan Beauty
Bringing global haircare authority closer to the chair, the partnership marks a renewed investment in New England's salons and stylists.
Leading up to the May/June 2018 Salons of the Year issue, SALON TODAY announces the 2018 finalists.

After reviewing thousands of salon décor images, the votes are in, and we have the 20 finalists in the 2018 Salons of the Year.
The biggest trend this year? MEN! Not only did three barbershops place prominently among our finalists, but one of the year's biggest design trends was to have a separate barbershop experience within the salon space.
Watch SALON TODAY’s Facebook and Instagram pages over the next month as we profile each salon design and give a shout out to our favorite design trends leading up to announcing our Grand-Prize winner, who’ll capture the cover of our May/June issue and the Runners Up.
