Don’t take our word for it, see what people thought of the 2015 event!

The Professional Beauty team were overwhelmed by the positive feedback received after the launch of the very first Professional Beauty GCC and Professional Spa & Wellness Convention, which took place on 25-26 January 2015. See a selection of comments below: “First of all I would like to congratulate the PB team on a excellent and professionally executed exhibition! We are extremely happy with our participation which has led to achieving good contacts with leaders in the beauty market in the UAE and this will hopefully lead to our expansion in the market.”Sepide Uhlmann, general manager, Neu Cosmetics “It was my first visit to the exhibition and convention and it was a ‘wow’ experience. It was a great opportunity for networking and to get to know more about the industry.” Ameera Rabia, Dubai Ladies Club “Professional Beauty’s exclusivity for our industry is of immense importance.” Mr. Mohammed Madi, president, Madi International Group “Visitors to the stand have been quality buyers, no time wasters or window shoppers – we’ll definitely do the next Professional Beauty show! There have been great networking opportunities with people throughout the industry.” David Go’shay, managing director, Revitalash UAE “It has been a very professional show. We have actually been opening accounts on the stand instead of chasing people after the show. We’ll definitely do the show again next year.” Nina Xanthakou, brand ambassador, Jane Iredale “It was a great show – we haven’t stopped! We’ve met a lot of people and everyone who came to the stand was a serious buyer.” Peter Dowling, founder House of Maria Dowling “It was the first show and the main reason I attended was due to the spa convention – that was a major attraction for me. We’ve had good quality visitors to the stand with high potential from each client. We will be back next year!” Sammy Gharieni, founder and CEO of Gharieni “One hundred percent of people that have come to our stand have bought Heaven skincare! The show might have appeared smaller than some, but the caliber of decision makers has been outstanding.” Deborah Mitchell, founder of Heaven skincare “It was a good show, extremely professional and well executed. Everyone was a potential buyer! We were glad to be part of it.” Manwell Yehya,general manager, Momentum Beauty “We’re really happy! It was Professional Beauty’s first GCC show and it has exceeded all expectations. The venue was fabulous and we’ve had great feedback from visitors to the stand who had travelled from all over the GCC. One commented to us that the vibe was really positive and that it was wonderful to have so many professional brands together under one roof.” Rosemarie Saxon, Founder & Director at Balegro Cosmetics “I have been to many Professional Beauty Shows globally and considering that this was the first, it was very well organised and well attended. I will go back to the VCTC and recommend that we need a bigger presence here in the future” Donna Waugh, VTCT Senior EV / School Manager at TLT Academy “We had a very positive outcome to a great first event and gained an invaluable insight into an international level ‘boutique’ style show on Dubai soil. The marketing was carefully targeted resulting in a high quality of visitors and brands on display. Professional Beauty successfully brought its experience and knowledge of its UK show, while adding a regional twist to what I believe will soon become THE beauty and spa event for professionals in the region. Looking forward to next year already!” Maria Dowling, creative director, Maria Dowling Salon “I found the first Professional Beauty Show in the Middle East tremendously successful for Spa Resources International. It provided an additional platform for us to engage with the local Spa industry (with old friends and new), showcase the best of both Elemis and Bliss brands, and present the SRI team who work so hard to ensure our business thrives. For me, the event created new business and contacts, increased existing business and provided many strong leads for my Sales Team. I have no doubt Professional Beauty will go from strength to strength in this region.” Justin Graves, general manager, Spa Resources International “Our successful exhibition at the very first Professional Beauty GCC Event in the Middle East, enabled us to promote LPG’s innovative products and services in anti-aging and body slimming. We have exchanged ideas with top global beauty, spa and wellness professionals and the full two days gave us a chance to meet potential clients and industry experts in the spa and beauty industry.” Ludovic Loffreda, chief executive officer of LPG Bella Concept “The 1st Dubai Professional Spa conference was indeed the professional calibre we all anticipated and beyond. The panel of speakers were diverse and informative at all levels keeping us, the audience glued to our seats. It was emotionally engaging, educational and networking was excellent. The exhibition hall was vibrant and a perfect size. Great work Professional Beauty Group.“ Daniella Russell, managing director, Spa & Wellness Consultancy UAE The Professional Beauty GCC Exhibition and Professional Spa & Wellness Convention Dubai is going to be held at Madinat Arena, Jumeirah on 31 January- 1 February 2016.
