Calling all beauty pros: There’s a massive education opportunity coming to SalonCentric this fall that you won’t want to miss out on. During the entire month of October, SalonCentric will be offering over 1,000 complimentary masterclasses across 250+ stores nationwide.

This first-of-its-kind initiative—known as The Playbook—will be hosted by some of the best educators from across the country. Set to be the industry’s biggest pro education event ever, spaces are expected to fill up quickly 

The Inspiration Behind The Playbook 

The Playbook initiative was inspired by SalonCentric’s commitment to education and deep appreciation for stylists and salon owners. "Education is a pillar of SalonCentric. We are committed to connecting with the stylist where they are in their career and then creating an educational journey that will help them develop both their business and technical skills," says LeAnn Bobitt, SalonCentric SVP of Brand Strategy and Development.

"To do this, we are offering live and digital education that builds skillsets, develops mindsets, and teaches business acumen and software/technology skills." We wanted to create an inclusive, free event that connects beauty professionals from all communities with an unparalleled offering of 1,000+ in-person and digital classes. Plus, 30 store studios will host the industry’s top artists and influencers for special events across the country.

To bring this vision to life, we teamed up with the best educators in the business and powered our event with the support of L'Oréal Professionnel and their new AirLight Pro hair dryer. 

Who Can Sign Up for The Playbook’s Masterclasses? 

The Playbook’s classes are geared towards beauty pros of all levels, and offer something for everyone. With a wide range of classes and modules from the industry’s leading brands and artists, The Playbook is perfect for building new skills, developing new mindsets, and learning business acumen and software/technology skills.

Plus, participants will also earn continuing education (CE) credits for attending any of our master classes (for states that require them).
