EMBRACE THE SUMMER Unleash YOUR POTENTIAL

We did it again, it has been so fun trailblazing through our industry. You know we are committed to innovation, creativity, and diversity, making waves is what we do best. I literally lose sleep at night thinking of ways to elevate our industry. This time though, I was at my niece’s birthday party when it hit me. Sometimes, I impress myself. Education and roller skating. Speed learning… I couldn’t write it down fast enough. This unprecedented gathering would bring together top influencers in Canada for a day filled with education, inspiration, and a unique skating experience. With a mission to combine beauty education with a touch of adventure, Efe Magazine proved once again why it stands at the forefront of industry trends and captivating experiences.

The event kicked off with an immersive educational session led by renowned beauty experts and influencers. We had Sharon @yogacolourist sharing her blending secrets. Reema @hairbyreema teaching you all about curls. While Eugenia, @twistedsistahs introduced many to box braids. We had Manny @manoloxhair taping in extensions and blending them. Shawn @shawn_barbs mastering the clippers and Deborah @d.c.artistrylove covered up-styling. Attendees had the opportunity to learn firsthand from these industry trailblazers as they shared their knowledge, insights, and cutting-edge techniques. Each educational segment provided attendees with valuable insights and a deeper understanding of the latest hair trends.

One of the highlights of the event was the diversity within the lineup of influencers who graced each classroom. Efe Magazine made a conscious effort to bring together influencers from various backgrounds, representing different cultures, styles, and expertise. This diversity not only showcased the magazine’s commitment to inclusivity but also offered attendees a multifaceted perspective on beauty and style.

Moreover, Efe Magazine collaborated with leading beauty brands to curate an immersive and interactive experience. Attendees had the opportunity to engage with brands and explore innovative products. The event served as a platform for brands to connect with their target audience and gain valuable feedback, while attendees had the chance to discover new favorites and stay ahead of the beauty curve.

A Fusion of Beauty and Skating (AKA EDUSKATE), the event took a thrilling turn as attendees swapped their classroom seats for roller skates. Efe Magazine’s vision to combine beauty education with roller skating created an electric atmosphere where creativity and physical expression intertwined.

Ya I will try! ALWAYS ask questions, try it out if you can. That’s what class is for

Skaters adorned with vibrant makeup looks and stylish ensembles showcased their skills on wheels, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that blended artistry and athleticism.

To further amplify the excitement, Efe Magazine seamlessly integrated an ‘80s theme throughout the event. Attendees were transported back in time with neon colors, bold makeup looks, and iconic ‘80s fashion. The nostalgic ambiance added an extra layer of fun and allowed participants to express their creativity through vibrant retro-inspired ensembles.

Beyond the education and skating, the event fostered a sense of community and provided a platform for networking. Attendees had the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and forge valuable professional relationships. As the beauty industry thrives on collaboration and inspiration, this event served as a catalyst for new ideas, partnerships, and future endeavors. Thank you to our product sponsors… The swag was amazing. Special thanks to Marca college and all of the student volunteers that shared their time making Roll Bounce possible.

We are so proud of what we have created. We successfully revolutionized the beauty landscape, showcasing our commitment to pushing boundaries and providing unique experiences. By combining education, diversity, and creativity in one exhilarating event, Efe Magazine once again cemented its position as an industry innovator. Attendees left the event not only with enhanced knowledge and skills but also with a renewed sense of passion, inspiration, and connection.

In a world where beauty is continually evolving, Roll Bounce proved that education and excitement can coexist. So, as we, the magazine continues to push the envelope and redefine beauty norms, industry professionals and enthusiasts eagerly anticipate our next event that will undoubtedly captivate and inspire. See you at the VZN Awards.
