As the beauty and wellness industries continue to evolve, professionals in hair, beauty, aesthetics, and barbering are constantly seeking ways to stay ahead of the curve. One such event that has become a must-attend for salon owners and industry leaders around the world is the Salon Owners Summit. Hosted by Phorest, a global pioneer in salon management software, this event brings together some of the brightest minds in the business for a transformative experience that blends world-class education, innovation, and a community-driven spirit.
In late January 2025, Dublin will play host to this exciting global gathering, welcoming salon professionals from across the globe, including those from the US, UK, Germany, Finland, Canada, and Australia. For the first time, Mocha Group will join the event, marking an exciting new chapter for the summit’s international reach.

A Global Stage for Salon Professionals
The Salon Owners Summit, which takes place annually, is not just another industry conference. It is a dynamic platform where salon owners, managers, stylists, and beauty professionals can come together to share insights, learn from experts, and exchange ideas. The summit offers a rich mix of keynote presentations, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops designed to help attendees grow their businesses and better serve their clients.
Phorest is known for its commitment to innovation in the salon industry, providing salon owners with tools that streamline operations, improve customer retention, and boost revenue. At the Salon Owners Summit, attendees can expect to hear from top industry speakers who bring fresh perspectives on topics ranging from business strategy to the latest trends in beauty technology.
The summit is particularly special because of its international appeal. While Phorest is a global company with clients spanning many countries, the Salon Owners Summit serves as a meeting point for professionals from diverse backgrounds. This multicultural environment allows attendees to broaden their horizons by learning from experts who operate in different markets. For example, salon owners from the US and UK may face challenges and opportunities that differ from those in Australia or Finland, yet they share common goals and experiences. The summit provides a unique opportunity for these professionals to network, collaborate, and discover solutions to common industry challenges.
Education, Inspiration, and Innovation
The heart of the Salon Owners Summit is its educational offerings. Attendees can expect to hear from some of the industry’s most respected thought leaders, who will share their expertise on key topics such as business growth, client retention, team leadership, marketing strategies, and the latest trends in hair, beauty, and aesthetics.
One of the standout features of the event is its focus on real-world, actionable advice. This isn’t about theoretical concepts—rather, it’s about providing salon owners with the tools they need to make tangible improvements to their businesses. Whether it’s learning how to streamline salon operations using cutting-edge software, developing a customer loyalty program, or gaining insight into the future of beauty technology, attendees leave the Salon Owners Summit with a clear roadmap for success.
Moreover, the event offers a chance for inspiration. With speakers and panelists who are at the forefront of their respective fields, attendees are exposed to new ideas that push them to think outside the box. Whether it’s innovative marketing campaigns, unique client engagement strategies, or creative ways to build a salon brand, the summit is a hotbed of inspiration that encourages professionals to raise the bar and think differently.
Networking and Collaboration
The networking opportunities at the Salon Owners Summit are unparalleled. Attendees will find themselves surrounded by like-minded professionals who share a passion for growing their businesses and advancing their craft. For many, this is an opportunity to connect with new partners, suppliers, and mentors who can offer valuable insights into navigating the challenges of salon ownership.
This year, MochaGroup’s participation in the conference is particularly exciting. Jarred Stedman (Mochagroup’s General Manager ) will be capturing the whole journey. It will be the start of the “Mocha On the Road” around the UK. Starting off in Brisbane, MochaGroup will join the Phorest team on the long flight to Dublin.
Of course, no trip to Dublin would be complete without a visit to the famous Guinness Factory, and while it’s not officially on the itinerary yet, you can guarantee Jarred will be there.
