Cosmetologists Chicago is welcoming some new faces to their leadership board!

The professional beauty organization recently announced a series of appointments to its new Board of Directors and Officers at the 2021 Annual Business Meeting. These salon owners and industry professionals, who make up the Cosmetologists Chicago Board of Directors, volunteer their time and leadership to develop and guide the association’s services to its members. Such services include continuing education, legislative representation, networking, scholarships, and networking among salon pros. 

But, the biggest and most important responsibility handled by the CC Board of Directors is the oversight of all facets of America’s Beauty Show. America’s Beauty Shows brings together thousands of salon professionals, educators, cosmetology students, and over 300 leading manufacturers of salon products and services for three days of beauty, education, and inspiration. The upcoming 2022 show will be held April 9-11 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.

As for the incredible professionals who will be shaping next year’s beauty show, allow us to introduce you to The Board of Directors of Cosmetologists Chicago for 2021-2023.
