This fall, Aveda The Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plant Essences kicks off its dynamic and inspirational North American Aveda Un|Buttoned Tour, where local artistry and learning is honored and celebrated.
Hosted by Aveda, this multi-city event, for the first time, showcases the creativity of the Aveda network in an interactive two-day show format that is inclusive to all beauty professionals. Aveda welcomes all salon owners and artists, regardless of an affiliation with the brand. The Aveda Un|Buttoned Tour features the motivating “Aveda Talk”; learning rotations for career and salon growth; and an evening Aveda Jam that highlights local artists on stage alongside Aveda Global Artistic team members. A Business Forum for Aveda network members will also be held, providing intel on future programs of the brand.
Barbara De Laere, Aveda’s new Senior Vice President & Global General Manager says: “Aveda Artists are passionate professionals that exude confidence, and have a key understanding of the value of learning. They want to share growth opportunities with each other. This is what the Aveda UN|Buttoned Tour is all about, reconnecting with our unrivaled DNA, while setting new standards for the industry together.”
