Chicago is the one-and-only place in the USA where salon pros can experience the visual extravaganza, hairdressing brilliance, and creative genius of the world-famous Alternative Hair Show. 

On Sunday, February 27, 2005, be mesmerized by a global salon perspective on beauty as 15 teams come from every corner of the world each interpreting beauty from a unique perspective. With the theme “Transition,” the opportunity for creativity is enormous. A real feast for all the senses!  Presenters will include: Carlo Bay, Italy; Fabio Sementilli, Canada; Klaus Peter Ochs, Germany; Kohsuke Visual Network, Japan; Nicholas French, USA; Planet Laboratories, USA; Robert Cromeans, USA; Rocco Altobelli, USA; Salon Blonde, USA; Sanrizz, UK; Scott Cole, USA; Trio Salon, USA; Van Michael, USA; Vidal Sassoon, USA; and Wiel & Ell Essers, the Netherlands.

Beyond the eye-popping spectacle you can learn more about the Alternative Hair Club/North America… focused on nurturing the creative in all of us; and you’ll be helping others just by attending because, for 20 years, all proceeds from the USA Alternative Hair Show benefit leukemia research in the USA, and the Leukaemia Research Fund UK.
 
2005 sponsors include: Chicago Midwest Beauty Show, official and host sponsor; Wella, premium sponsor; BedHead/TIGI, charity sponsor. Media sponsors include Modern Salon in the USA, Canadian Hairdresser in Canada and Estetica, worldwide.  And though industry support is BIG in ’05, great sponsorship opportunities are still available.  Click here or on the image of Anthony Mascolo to learn more.
