Harriet Stokes workshop
The first to make its presentation was
Harriet Stokes
, L’Oréal Pro Global Artist where with the help of
Jayde Collins
,
brought out the beauty of the ultimate blonde and not only, with wonderful color techniques.
Her presentation, which had a London flavour, was very inspiring to the professional hairdressers and provided them with a lot of knowledge,
mainly on a practical level but her presentation did not stop there!
She passed on the message of patience and perseverance , when one wants to achieve one’s goal, as she started as she narrated,
from a freelance hairdresser and within a few years she achieved her dreams and even trains young hairdressers herself,
with its knowledge and stubbornness, to anyone who gives his best and wants something very much,
even when he is outside his “safety zone”.
Jenny Kamaradou business consulting.
Second on stage was Jenny Kamaradou, Occupational Psychologist & CEO of
Salon Proactive
,
where he highlighted the ways in which a hairdresser can make his business more profitable,
spoke about the crises that have affected and are affecting the world (economic, pandemic, energy),

to make his business stand the test of time and become stronger!

with the guests leaving “full” of inspiration for creation!
Final
Finally, there was the grand finale with all the models and everyone who worked, both on and off stage,
going on stage for the final catwalk and being applauded by the people below throughout the event!

the final pulse was given by the brushes and scissors of the hair artists who with their knowledge and talent,
closed the Inspiration Days trip in the best way!
