CosmoProf 2013 Spring Style Show (Super picture heavy!)

Hello everybody!  Last weekend I attended a huge hair show hosted by CosmoProf, which is a wholesale supplier for licensed hairstylists, nail technicians, and estheticians.  Because of work and other little things, I was deeply disappointed that I couldn't stay as long as I wanted to.  I had been looking forward to this show all year, but I suppose at least I was able to go for a little bit.  I took 200+ pictures, managed to delete all the blurry/repetitive ones and get the number down to 85.  There should be less than 70 in this post but definitely a lot.....

Turned out AMAZING

Overall, the show was a lot of fun.  According to more advanced professionals, the show has become a lot more commercialized and focused more on selling products than on education.  But to a recently licensed cosmetologist, there was a lot to learn and a lot to see.  Can't wait till next year!
