support for America’s Beauty Show® and Cosmetologists Chicago by
participating in the most spectacular event ever at the 2011 America’s
Beauty Show, March 12‐14, at McCormick Place in downtown Chicago. The
success of the 86 year old America’s Beauty Show (formerly The Midwest
Beauty Show®) also re‐emphasized that the thousands and thousands of
salon professionals who attended wanted to see what’s new, what’s
downtown Chicago.
“America’s Beauty Show,” says Cosmetologists Chicago President Frank Gironda of Frank
Gironda Salon & Spa, Naperville, IL, “is the event on which the salon leaders in our area grew
up. It’s the annual event that has continually helped build our careers and our businesses.
For 86 years, America’s Beauty Show has been THE Midwest Beauty Show and we fully
intend to continue the tradition for many, many years. We owe that to the future of our
salons.”
Cosmetologists Chicago®, the organization of more than 7,000 salon owners, professionals
and students that owns and produces America’s Beauty Show, planned a blockbuster
schedule of events to meet, and exceed, the expectations of the thousands of professionals
in attendance.
