The professional beauty industry is constantly evolving. New services like head spa treatments quickly gain mainstream popularity, and beauty professionals have to keep up. At the same time, the rise of GLP-1 medications has more clients than ever looking for help with thinning hair and hair loss, and groundbreaking advancements in hair extension technology are giving stylists new ways to meet that demand.

John and Denise Philipp saw the need for continuing education 30 years ago when they started TruBeauty Concepts, an independent professional beauty distributor serving the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S., in the basement of their home. Today the family-owned company is one of the largest beauty distributors in the country, with a mission to support stylists with exclusive professional products and technique-driven education that gives them the tools they need to be successful and profitable.

In 2012, TruBeauty Concepts made its most significant investment in professional beauty education with the opening of H.O.P.E. (Home of Professional Education). Set on an 8-acre farm near the Pennsylvania and New Jersey border, just 60 miles from Manhattan and 40 miles from Philadelphia, H.O.P.E. has welcomed some of the most esteemed educators in the beauty industry. The heart of the campus is a renovated 10,000 square foot barn, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and equipment for an unparalleled learning experience.
