The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) takes great pride in producing professionally focused events, exclusively for beauty professionals. When you attend our shows, such as ISSE Long Beach, ISSE Midwest, or Cosmoprof North America it is best to keep with the professional theme when it comes to your attire. For women, skirts, slacks, and blouses are preferred with black being the most common color choice. For men, slacks and a button down or Polo are recommended. Nicer jeans are certainly acceptable. For shoes, it's about comfort, but people love to see style and heels are often the norm. Overall, your presence and participation at the shows is the most important. Think professional, and add your personal touch to create your own show style. — Eric Z. Horn is associate executive director, business development, at the PBA. I'm planning my business, and I love the idea of copper bowls for pedicures. But I'm not sure I'm understanding how they would work. Would you use the bowl alone, or would it have to sit atop a fi xture? How would a client prop her feet so that the service can be performed? BuyNailsDirect can build to order a Katai Spa with options of either a copper bowl or a fi berglass basin. All the salon has to do is install the plumbing which includes drainage and hot and cold water. The price retails for approximately $2,700. Most pedicure procedures consist of fi ve steps: soak (warm water), exfoliate (salt or sugar gel), soothe (mask), massage (oil), and moisturize (lotion). With a pedicure spa, the nail tech does not have to carry water back and forth; therefore, the turnover time per client is much faster. Furthermore, the client can relax and enjoy back body massage with the Human Touch chair during the entire service. — Quy "Charlie" Ton is the owner of Alfalfa Nail Supply.
