/ Thank you so much for having me last night. It was a honor to be a part of The Beauty Expo. Also, Congrats to you! You’re doing outstanding work in our fashion community! I’m so glad you are here.

/ I was impressed by the high energy level and the spontaneity of the Beauty Expo 2011. Hats off to you for another successful evening.

  • ~ Varunne McGowan @ Sincerely Varunee

/ Thank you so much for having us at The Beauty Expo! We had a great time! It was wonderful to see all the stylists at work and be around all the beautiful people. This event was not only a good way for us to reach a wider audience and introduce them to Aveda (or re-introduce them as the case may be), but it was also a great networking opportunity. We were not only able to connect industry professionals to educate on them on our new Pro Privilege program, which is a program for beauty professionals to get a discount on our amazing products, but we were also able to connect with photographers, fashion bloggers and other people in the fashion industry that we will network with for future events for our brand. So thanks again Owen Geronimo ! We had a great time and we are looking forward to partnering with you again in the near future!!
