About this Event
Join us at The Glassbox Institute for a recruitment event designed to connect salon owners with emerging talent β and offer a clear, honest look at the next generation of stylists entering the industry.
Get to know our students beyond a rΓ©sumΓ© β through conversation, observation, and real interaction. This is an opportunity to connect early, identify the right fit for your team, and build relationships with stylists as they prepare to enter the industry.

We are also offering a talent preview day on July 22, 2026.

Salon Introductions
