Icons and Trailblazers
“Multi-generational family businesses built – and continue to drive – our industry. They embody the passion, commitment and relationships that are at its core. As such, they deserve to be recognized, honored, and brought together to celebrate!” says Robert Passage, Chairman & CEO of Pivot Point International, BCL Co-founder.
Deep convictions
Sam Villa strongly believes in the BCL’s mission of fostering growth, confidence, and creativity within the industry. Moreover, he is honored to pay tribute to the Icons and Trailblazers that have made it what it is today. “By investing in education and the success of aspiring professionals, BCL is not just transforming individual careers, but revolutionizing the very fabric of the industry. Their work has and will continue to ignite lifelong learning and inspiration,” adds Villa who is excited to be partnering with Faye.
“Through his inspiring presence as last years’ co-host, Sam played a pivotal role in helping achieve a record-breaking fundraising milestone of $125,000. This year, we aim to build upon this success and elevate fundraising efforts even further!” Lisa Roeberg, BCL Executive Director.
“We’re honored to partner with Sam again this year. We are also pleased to welcome a new addition to our BCL family in Elizabeth Faye. Faye is a trailblazing champion of beauty professionals with her mantra “Hairstylists Change the World”. Her work within the industry inspires pros to reach their highest potential both personally and professionally to make the most of their calling,” says Meghan Hayden, BCL Communications Director.
“We know the impact beauty professionals have in the world and we’re here to amplify it. The effects go far beyond a highlight, haircut, facial or fresh coat of polish, it’s deeply FELT. They’re pillars in communities. As artists and space holders, they make others feel heard, seen, loved and beautiful,” says Faye. “When beauty professionals have the resources they need to be successful, we are a part of a massive ripple effect. This can change the world!“
