MIAMI MAGIC
Rogue Beauty recently sent their Australian R+Co Next Gen Collective to Miami for an exclusive R+Co Excursion made to inspire salon owners in creativity and business.
Over October 20 to 23, a myriad of lucky leading hairdressers were sent to Miami in the US on an aspirational R+Co Excursion, where the Australian R+Co Next Gen Collective experienced a prestigious four-day immersive event that highlighted cutting edge trends and business strategies. Miami is renowned as an artistic, cultural epicentre, which provided the ideal backdrop to these dynamic inspirations.
“Anyone who knows me, knows my passion for this industry and, at R+Co, we are constantly pushing the boundaries, being unapologetically disruptive. With the launch of our full clean colour portfolio, we knew it was time to showcase the R+Co experience to our Australian fans right here in Miami. This is just the beginning – we can’t wait for our next adventure,” shared Jemma Goos, Rogue Beauty, Sales & Education Capabilities Manager.
The Australian cohort of salon owners consisted of Chantelle Nydal of Saburi Hair Studios, Ryan King of Loco London Hair, Tiffany Decaux of Iris House of Hair, Elly Paynter of SIX A, Stevie Vincent of Stevie Vincent Studios and Ella Burke of Studio AH.
Attendees enjoyed in-depth education across hairdressing techniques, product innovations, and tools from R+Co, with highlights including styling demonstrations thanks to the R+Co Collective and a preview of R+Color.
Business strategies were an essential component of the event, and attendees were treated to tailored and intimate sessions thanks to elective courses, bespoke salon coaching, a hands-on class and a feature Fireside Chat with the R+Co leadership team. Intensive sessions and topics on salon business strategies spanned profitability, marketing, social media and team leadership, offering attendees actionable insights on how to elevate their businesses and stay competitive in a rapidly changing industry.
“Our industry is always evolving. We should approach it with an open mind and learn from all generations. Just being in a room with so many industry influencers wanting to inspire positive change has been incredible,” Chantelle shared.
“This experience was unlike any business education I’ve had. Learning about cognitive biases and how they impact client relations has been transformative. The R+Co leadership is an open book – their generosity and genuine care for salon businesses is monumental,” Elly added.
The event also fostered a sense of community and networking, with social opportunities such as a welcome reception and social occasions throughout the week, where hairdressers from across the globe could connect.
“As a new salon owner, this excursion was perfectly timed, giving me confidence to tackle future challenges,” Ryan said. “Being around artists like [R+Co Co-Founders] Garren and Howard McLaren, while feeling so welcomed by the R+Co team, was both empowering and creatively rejuvenating.”
“I didn’t know there was a whole other level we hadn’t even touched in this industry. Seeing the transparency, honesty, and family spirit at R+Co has been so uplifting. This team is going places – I can feel it,” Tiffany added.
Described as a transformative experience, Australian salon owners took pertinent insights and an inimitable energy all the way from Miami back to their national salons. To the next R+Co excursion.
