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.
With its first VisionQuest event, Eufora offers salon professionals a mindfulness event which combines education and wellness activities.




The gorgeous Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California, is the tranquil setting for Eufora’s first Vision Quest, a mindfulness event that ties mind-stimulating keynote addresses, innovating workshops and wellness activities. The event, which will be held November 5-6, 2017, promises to send salon owners and their teams home ready to face a busy holiday season and plan for a successful 2018.
“Since the inception of Eufora, we have focused on developing the whole of the hair stylist and salon owner,” says Eufora founder Beth Bewley. “Our goal has always been to provide them with everything needed to be successful and thrive in their careers, so it only makes sense that we use an event like VisionQuest as a platform to share the message of mindfulness. Our event theme, ‘Live Well, Work Well’ was chosen specifically to bring into focus the importance of life balance as an integral part of the professional and personal development.”
Keynote speakers include:
