For nearly thirty years, Premiere Orlando has been providing the professional beauty industry with the Education You Need to Succeed; continuing to grow and bring in new topics, artists and companies year after year. This year, the talk of the town has been the addition of social media superstar and our favorite #hairbestie, Guy Tang to this year’s Main Stage lineup but he’s not the only newcomer this year.

New & Trending Classroom Education

One of the best things about attending any Premiere event is the plethora of education that is included with a Show Pass. With the over 600 classes offered at Premiere Orlando this year alone there is bound to be something new for everyone. However, Premiere is excited to add some newcomers to their educational program this year.

CosmoProf Education will feature Lala Chihaha who will present on Bridal and Braided Styling, Leysa Carrillo will be educating on how to lighten, color and style curly and textured hair and Keon Washington will be exploring barbering basics and easy fade methods.

NAHA winner, Dusty Simington along with his advanced team, Kronos Academy will showcase their new 2018 collection as well as demonstrating 9 different haircuts with a technical approach to shags, texture and the 80s while updating each look for today’s trends.

The Santiago Brothers, many may know them as individual platform artists but not know that they’re brothers. At this year’s event, attendees can experience a one-of-a-kind barber versus cosmetologist class with Carlos and Ricardo Santiago. During their fun and informative class, these two talented brothers will share their collective expertise; Carlos as a barber and Ricardo as a cosmetologist. Together they will show you how to take elements from both professions and apply them to your clients back at the shop.

Ryan Teal of the TEALs will be educating on the reality of salon life and educate on how to speed up cuts without compromising quality, compression vs. precision, and utilizing alternate tools. Ryan will also be judging this year’s hair competitions, Women’s Cut, Color and Styling & Bridal, Upstyling and Braiding.

Also new this year, attendees will be able to learn from the Business of Balayage team, Marlo Steenman, Tha Hair Klass, Nappy Hutt, LLC and Studio 4212 with Hair by LaurenD.
