I had the pleasure of listening to a panel of beauty influencers discuss their experiences with social media at the Beauty Goes Social event on February 21st.

DigitalLA did a great job moderating the discussion and Q&A hosted at eSalon’s brand new headquarters in Culver City, CA. 

For about an hour and a half, six female gurus openly discussed their experiences, stats, engagement, trends, tricks, popular apps, time invested, and results gained.  Ultimately, everyone was in agreement that authenticity and relatability are the keys to success. 

No matter what industry you’re in, social media has a massive presence as a voice and influence in our digital world.  It is rapidly becoming a primary conduit between you and your audience/followers.  It’s the perfect medium to get your point of view, photo, tutorial, and varying content across to the masses.

It was interesting to tour the brand new headquarters of eSalon.  This business is a fusion of Beauty meets IT.  eSalon lets you go online to create your own custom hair color. Professional stylists create a custom pigment that is shipped to your home in a personalized bottle with your name on it. 

Typically, I feel we all prep and update our beauty regimen before a trip.  Nails are glossy, hair is trimmed, and skin is exfoliated.  However, should you find yourself embarking on an adventure where you’re going to need to touch up your roots before you even return, eSalon is a fab option if your comfortable with a little DIY.  If not, at least while on your travels, you could bring your custom color to a local salon for the application.  This way you and your momentary stylist eliminate the guess-work out of recreating your color.  The packaging is compact and can easily be tucked into your luggage.  No need to let your beauty regimen standards fall to the wayside.  This is yet another tricks for looking your demure and stylish self on-the-go!
