Dubai’s “Queen of Colour” takes the global stage at Salon International

Maria Dowling, creative director of Maria Dowling salon, often dubbed Dubai’s “Queen of Colour” shared her experiences of running a salon overseas at Salon International in London, UK last month.

Dowling was invited by salon management software provider, Salon Genius to take part in a forum alongside other speakers from top international salons.

The questions and answer session was open to all guests at the event and covered aspects of salon ownership including marketing to new customers, staff retention, the importance of awards and the key to a salon’s success. Dowling, who writes for Professional Beauty GCC, also answered questions on tips for setting up a salon overseas, marketing to customers in the Middle East and retaining customers in transient, expatriate environment.

Dowling was joined by UK based Stephen Nurse, operational manager at Daniel Galvin, Sean Hanna of Sean Hanna Salons and Rupert Berrow, finance director at Toni & Guy.

See Maria speak in the NEW Beauty Conference taking place at the next Professional Beauty GCC exhibition on 1-2 February 2016 at The Meydan, Dubai. Progamme soon to be announced!
