Pivot Point Creative Jam for Beauty Educators Comes to Chicago Nov 15-16, 2015

Pivot Point International urges beauty educators of future graduates, salon professionals, or colleagues, to connect their own creativity and artistry with Pivot Point’s top talents in the company’s home town of Chicago.

Creative Jam Chicago, the first Pivot Point Creative Jam to be held in the United States, will take place November 15-16, 2015. To add to the creative atmosphere, Creative Jam Chicago will be held at Prairie Production Studios in downtown Chicago. Hundreds of beauty professionals have attended Creative Jams in many other countries including the Netherlands, Sweden, Taiwan and Mexico.

“Travel in itself is educational,” says Yolly ten Koppel, Pivot Point’s Global Artistic Director. “Add the creative exploration with like-minded beauty educators, and your travel adventure can be life-changing!”

Creative Jam Chicago, the first dedicated to beauty educators, will feature the teaching and artistic talents of three world-renowned stylists.

  • Sharon Blain of Australia is a lauded long hair designer and educates throughout the world.
  • Yolly ten Koppel of the Netherlands serves as a leading hair artist in fashion capitals around the world—from Milan to Sao Paulo and New York.
  • Paul Suttles of the U.S. is committed to giving educators the tools they need to inspire learners—and themselves—to be their best.

On the first day of Creative Jam Chicago, Sharon Blain will share her creative process of creating long hair designs and how to customize and teach the techniques to others. A team dinner and runway show concludes the first day, with opportunities to network with educators who share a passion for and dedication to our wonderful industry.

Day 2 has Yolly ten Koppel and the Pivot Point Artistic Team taking participants on a journey through a digitalized world and demonstrating how to translate it into creative haircuts and designs, as well as exploring ways to engage an audience.

Single tickets to Creative Jam Chicago are just $500, with a special rate of $400 when two or more are purchased together. Register at creativejam.pivot-point.com/chicago2015. Special accommodations at Freehand Chicago Hotel are available to attendees.
