An event that has evolved fast​

La Manna explained that the event started up just four years ago, taking up half an event hall at the Plaza Mayor expo space, but since then has grown to take up the entire exhibition area, including hall space that is not usually used for shows. 

"We dedicded that Medellin needed a beauty educational event that was dedicated to industry professionals, allowing exhibitors to come in and show their latest products and techniques, and getting the product in the hands of professionals,"​ said La Manna.

"What we are witnessing in the industry here is a lot of unique color and finishes that is really redefining aesthetics. This is being seen for both men and women in both the barber and hair care field as well as the color cosmetics area, and in particular for nail care."​
