SALON SCOTLAND PROVED A SUNNY SUCCESS WITH SCORES OF COMPANIES SHOWCASING THEIR LATEST PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. ANNETTE HANFORD REPORTS
The sun was out and the sky was blue for Salon Scotland-Glasgow's only trade snow devoted to the ever- increasing professional hair and beauty markets. A record number of hair and beauty professionals made their way to the two-day show held at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. The number of exhibiting companies was also up and many used the event as a launch-pad for a host of new items.
For the first time, the professional haircare and hardressing industries were represented at the show bringing a more fashion-conscious and funky edge to the exhibition, This not only benefited many of the companies and organisations that cross-sell to the two sectors, but aso those salons considering expanding and offering new services.
So, for those of you who didn't make it to the show, or those that didn't have time to visit all the busy stands (and yes, many of them were constanty packed), here's a round-up of some of the highlights.

Another hit was the pocket-sized battery-- operated EyeCurl, whch flew off the shelves. Providing a long-lasting curl while smoothing and separating lashes, it can be used over mascara for instant results.
