THE EVENT: “Shear Volume,” a VIP summer beauty bash to kickoff and preview the high-profile headliners booked for America’s Beauty Show, March 28-30, 2009. THE VENUE: Climax Lounge at the center of Chicago’s hot River North club scene. THE DETAILS: Along with a great night to party, stylists from all over the Chicagoland area were treated to special one-night-only appearances by Anthony Mascolo of TIGI, Luis Alvarez and Ann Bray of Aquage, (the team that created The Looks for America’s Beauty Show 2009) and Irene Meikle of Mizani. The artists all showcased the talent that gained them “Headliner” status for the 2009 ABS Runway. Stylists, salon owners and their guests packed the downtown club, danced to the pulsing house music of DJ Victor R. and raised their glasses to another action-packed year with custom Right Gin cocktails. The audience enjoyed surprise special guests Ben Mollin of Shear Genius and Steven Rosengard of Project Runway. “’Shear Volume’ was a great way to introduce America’s Beauty Show 2009 to a young and enthusiastic hairdresser community,” said Paul Dykstra, CEO of Cosmetologists Chicago and America’s Beauty Show. THE BUZZ: “This was awesome,” said Angela Avorio of Samantha Marie Salon in New Lenox, Illinois. “It’s only July and I’m already excited for America’s Beauty Show 2009.” THE LAST WORD: “Shear Volume” is only the beginning—in the coming months, look to MODERN SALON as the official publication of America’s Beauty Show, for the latest news on your favorite industry event. ABS 2009 will raise the beauty industry bar again with only the finest when it comes to educators, events and just plain fun. —Laurel Smoke 56 SEPTEMBER 2008 www.modernsalon.com http://gillianobrien.com http://www.modernsalon.com
