In May, salon, clinic and spa partners of Australian distributor Professional Beauty Solutions (PBS) gathered for a lavish dinner at Sydney’s Ivy Ballroom.
The evening marked the close of PBS’ 2023 Skin Summit – a two-day industry event comprising education and training modules.
Guests of the night included beauty business owners and their teams from across the country. The event provided an opportunity for therapists to meet, network and connect over their passion for PBS’ brand portfolio.
Skin therapist Sarah Hudson played MC for the Skin Summit Gala Dinner and Awards. PBS founders Matt and Lisa Williams welcomed teams, and thanked them for their support.
An emotional Lisa also acknowledged teams’ strength and endurance during challenging times, having faced COVID lockdowns, bushfires and floods. “The last few years have been a test of our resilience, both as individuals and businesses.” Lisa said.
Guests enjoyed a three-course meal over glasses of champagne and wine and performances by a live band.
Throughout the evening, awards were distributed to therapists excelling in various areas.
