I am continuously so impressed with the level of skill each of our Beauty Squad winners continue to show and our incredible team can’t wait to mentor them all to reach exciting new heights. As with all our 2023 winners they are now looked to as exciting innovators in technique, trend and service.” -Linda Woodhead.
