The International SalonSpa Business Network kicks off its popular webinar series in 2016 with three programs designed to provide information, insight, opportunities and savings to the owners and managers of multi-unit salons and spas.

“ISBN’s webinar series allows us to dig deeper into pertinent topics in order to provide greater value to our members, our partner sponsors and the professional beauty industry,” explains Rhoda Olsen, ISBN president and CEO of Great Clips. “There’s something for everyone to learn, whether you own, manage or lead two to thousands of salons or spas. Our topics have included booth rental and legislative issues, with leadership, eCommerce and many more pertinent topics to come in 2016. We invite all salon owners and managers to check them out.”

The schedule includes:

February 23, 2016, 11 am to noon PST: The Truth About Hair & Beauty eCommerce

The beauty retail experience now include both brick-and-mortar locations like salons and spas, as well as their online website counterparts. As consumers become increasingly reliant on technology in all areas of their lives, they expect—and demand—to research, if not purchase, their products online. This free webinar, hosted by Loxa Beauty, an innovative eCommerce platform that supports professional salons and stylists, will cover the realities of beauty eCommerce, including critical considerations, complementing the in-person retail experience and setting up your own eCommerce platform.
