Formal hairstyles workshop
Sharon Blain & Aili Puss
On May 16th and 17th, The Association of Hairdresser Artists organized a formal hairstyle workshop by one of the best educators in the world – SHARON BLAIN who, within her final world tour, visited Belgrade for the first time.
Sharon Blain, along with Aili Puss, held a two-day formal hairstyle workshop at the Holiday Inn hotel. Sharon is one of the most highly acclaimed educators among hairdressers worldwide so her workshop in Belgrade was also attended by hairdressers from Germany, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro and Bulgaria.
Honoring the professional standards which a seminar led by a leading world expert demands, The Association of Hairdresser Artists went above and beyond to ensure that Sharon herself was amazed by the organization, the space and the working conditions, seeing as she has worked in some of the most prestigious settings during more than 55 years of her professional career.
The experience and knowledge which Sharon shared with the attendants is something which, according to them, they had never experienced before and which had inspired them to keep doing their jobs with even more creativity and dedication.
