The winning business will receive a membership and pass for America’s Beauty Show in Chicago, March 25-27, 2017, as well as a hotel stay and a $500 travel voucher. Plus, it will be featured on SASSI’s website and social media pages.

Entering the contest is simple: share a short story, with any helpful photos and videos, about a salon’s secret to success and what sets it apart. The winner will be able to demonstrate how this “secret” has created concrete change and/or success for the business.
The contest is open to any salon, day spa or barber shop located in the United States, and anyone age 18 or over can enter the business in the competition, whether they are staff or an independent contractor.
