Fueling the Future of Beauty:

A Movement to Keep Talent Thriving.

Save the Date! September 28, 2026. • Hilton Oak Brook Hills, Oak Brook, IL

Too many talented beauty pros are falling out of the industry before they ever get a real shot—over one-third of beauty students don’t graduate, and up to 70% of new professionals leave within three years. Not because they lack talent, but because they lack a roadmap and the business skills to turn passion into a lasting career.

From Chair to Boss Live is the day that changes that—an electric room of mentors, educators, and industry leaders sharing real stories, real strategies, and clear career paths across salon, suites, retail, education, corporate, and entrepreneurship. You won’t just leave inspired—you’ll leave equipped.

Attending means aligning with the future of beauty while connecting with ambitious, business-minded professionals who are ready to grow.

You’ll be part of a movement that champions empowerment and entrepreneurship—and you’ll gain meaningful visibility through high-value networking and community connections.
Presented by: The Pink Pewter Foundation a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization created with the goal of providing inspiration, resources and financial assistance grants to beauty professionals.

A heartfelt thank you to our Pink Pewter Foundation sponsors and participating beauty schools for investing in the future of beauty.
