CI Annual Networking Event

Posted On November 23, 2017

 CI Annual Networking Event

Every year, Creative Images Institute of Cosmetology puts on their Annual Networking & Recruiting Event as a gateway for their artists to meet and interact with local salons and spas. This year has been the best one yet with nearly 100 hundred artists in attendance and over 130 industry professionals representing nearly 200 salons and spas!

 This event was designed to give the student artists the opportunity to meet with the salon /spa of their dreams while also being able to show off their creativity between portfolios, design contests, and a runway show. For the first half of the event, artists were encouraged to go and interact with each salon and spa, learn about their business structure and team goals and make those connections. This event is recommended for all artists regardless of how far into their program they are due to the fact that it is never too early to plan for your future and with Creative Images’ Partners in Education program, artists are given the opportunity to intern with salon and spa partners throughout their program to receive training hours outside of the classroom. The Networking Event gives those artists the opportunity to meet those salons in person and leave an impression on them not only as a potential intern but also as a potential employee.

After an hour of networking and mingling, the event floor was transformed into a runway. During the runway show, artists were able to feature their design work on live models who strutted their way down the aisle, showcasing a new hairdo, makeup skills, and nail designs. While the models were on display, artists were given the opportunity to introduce their model and the inspiration behind their look and even the process they followed to achieve it! With nearly 50 participants, guests and observers were able to be fully submerged in the overwhelming creativity and passion of the artists hard at work.

Following the runway show, prior to the event, artists were given the chance to compete in a design contest. With three different categories for judging: hair, nails, and makeup application; artists were encouraged to submit at least one design into the contest for the guests to judge. Each winner received a trophy and a gift bag from a supporting salon or spa. A huge shout out to these three amazing artists for their stunning creativity and congratulations for winning your category: Alisha Stone, Yvonne Hall, and Shanee Young!

To conclude the event, artists had one last go round at networking and connecting with the local salons and spas and leaving a solid first impression. The beauty industry is a career field driven by dreams and desire. To be successful in this field, individuals need to learn to be outgoing and committed, to have a vision that they can strive for every day. Observing the artists as they approached beauty professionals who not only share the same passion as them but who have also achieved the same dreams; this event really helped light that fire within those artists. Creative Images is incredibly thrilled with the success of this event and cannot wait to follow each artist as they start towards their new journeys.
