Education + Training

What is Education? Simply put, it’s information, with an intended result, that should enhance and grow your team and business.

 
Being in the salon beauty industry for over 30 years I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of people. I have travel the world and trained with some of the industry’s greatest. But few have made an impression on me like Alex. He is crazy talented but also one of the kindest and most down to earth humans I have ever crossed paths with. You could say he’s the salt of the earth. Alex Ioannou has the ability to make you want to do and be better because that’s who he is in our industry.
