2027 is calling. Will you be in the room? ⚜️✨

There’s a reason The Roosevelt Hotel is the heart of the Serious Business Conference. Walking these halls during our breakout sessions isn’t just about business, it’s about stepping into a legacy of excellence.

While 2027 feels like a lifetime away, the industry’s top leaders are already locking in their spots.

Serious Business 2027 is returning to New Orleans from January 16-18, and trust us, you don’t want to be watching this from your phone.

Why the FOMO is Real:
• The Venue: Hosted at the iconic Roosevelt Hotel and the Saenger Theatre, this is where the beauty industry’s most influential minds gather for two days of pure transformation.

• The Education: From world-class keynote speakers to intimate breakout sessions right here in these gold-leafed rooms, we’re diving into the business of beauty, leadership, and personal growth.

• The Networking: Connect with a community of salon owners, stylists, and innovators in the heart of Louisiana.

Early-bird energy is officially here, and seats at the Roosevelt fill up fast.

“I think it’s important for all of us to share stories... because we’re all going through very, very similar things.”

Anything new, no matter how good, is uncomfortable until it’s familiar. ✨

In this powerful moment from the SeriousBusiness stage, Brianna Wiest explains the "Upper Limit" and why we subconsciously resist the very peace and stability we're seeking.

Success in the beauty and wellness industry isn't just about technical skill; it’s about the growth mindset to surpass your old limits. 🚀

Stop playing small. Join the community of thinkers, leaders, and icons who gather every January to redefine what’s possible.

A MONUMENTAL WIN FOR THE SALON INDUSTRY 🏆

The power of advocacy is real. The passing of the 45B F**A Tip Tax Credit is a game-changer, putting hard-earned money back into the budgets of salon owners across the country. 💸

As Leslie Perry shares, this isn’t just policy—it’s real money that belongs to the entrepreneurs who drive our industry forward.

At Serious Business, we believe a rising tide raises all ships. When we gather in a brand-neutral environment to focus on personal and professional growth, we don’t just change our businesses—we change the entire landscape of beauty.

The future is being built right now. Are you in the room?

You just HAD to be there for this one! 🤯

Thanh Pham absolutely blew us away at Serious Business 2026. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by AI or unsure how it fits into your salon, Thanh’s session was the ultimate game-changer.

Key Takeaways:

✨ Stop sitting on a goldmine: Most stylists have thousands of client photos and reviews they never use. AI is the key to finally getting that content out there.

✨ Work smarter, not harder: Use AI to drive more phone calls and client bookings while you’re busy behind the chair.

✨ Efficiency is everything: Learn to use these tools to gain exposure without the burnout.

Serious Business 2026 may be over, but the momentum is just getting started. ⚜️

One of the best parts of Serious Business is hearing what people take away once they leave the room.

Serious Business has always been about more than just education. It is about perspective, community, and leaving with ideas that make you better for the people you lead.
