Mizani Takes on Texture at Bronner Bros Winter Showcase Thursday 26 February, 2015
Bronner Bros is back again, this time for it’s Winter showcase. I have blogged about Bronner Bros before, my first time attending for the Spring and now its the winter edition. I feel really bad because there was a blogger luncheon I was supposed to attend for this, but immediately when I was in route to the place, I got severely nauseous! No blogger luncheon pictures, I missed out on that completely – but Bronner Bros is a 3 day weekend affair and I did get a chance to cover something from the convention. I made sure to visit the Mizani booth -where the brand talked about Textures and Professionalism working in the industry.
MIZANI, the professional authority for all curl textures continues to lead the professional industry with best in class education and tools designed for salon growth at the Bronner Brothers International Hair Show. I attended this showcase specially to learn more about the brand and how professionals can grow their salon presence and use these products. Although I am not a professional hair stylist, I have used these products in the past on my hair in which they are good for all textures straight, curly, fine and course hair. I love how they set up the stage like we were in a real professional and upscale salon – giving a true feel of the session.
The Mizani models shashayed on the stage with the flip of their hair and bouncing their curls. They showed off the sheen, shine and overall health and movement of their hair with the help of the Mizani products. All of the models got their hair done with the usage of only Mizani professional hair care line.

Master Stylists Carlton Thompson + Evie Johnson headline this presentation
Master Stylist Carlton Thompson (Sacramento, CA) & Evie Johnson (Marlboro, MD) presented educational class techniques for salons such as Texture Management, Raising the Bar with Signature Service, Extended Manes and an Interactive play-stations using Lacers and True Textures. Both master stylist gave revenue building tips, customer service tips and overall how to utilize the Mizani products to enhance the hair of their clients for all salon professionals.
Evie held a discussion on building revenue with clients and salon etiquette. Some salon professionals aren’t as professional as they seem, not engaged with the client, not conscious of the client’s time, and overall do not give a client the polite customer service they need to keep and retain returning customers. I have had my share of salon horror stories and the feeling of being uncomfortable at a salon which made me not want to return, and these tips were excellent for hair care professionals. Carlton did a live demo of a model who wanted to know how to care for her hair after the salon. We all have went to the salon and left the chair with our hair looking amazing, but what do we do when we get home? Carlton explained in detail what he put in the model’s hair, showed her the products she should take home and how to use it for continued upkeep and maintenance of her curls. Carlton also stressed than many salon professional should be teaching their client how to maintain their hair between visits as well.
Evie + Carlton did a mockup demonstration of a salon professional and client relationship inside a shop on the do and don’ts. Again, stressing the importance of client relationship and professionalism to retain a business and working relationship. It’s not enough just to do their hair, be kind and talk to them with respect and concern for the health and grooming of their hair.
There was a social media contest to win a huge Mizani gift basket. I won! I can’t pass up an opportunity to do a contest via social media and it was a selfie contest. Simple enough and I did win so yay!
Mizani Gift Basket
The Mizani gift basket goodies
These were all the products in the gift basket. Lots of professional hair care products from the Mizani line and I am really excited about my curling wand. I am excited to use that in the future along with the products provided! Products galore (Time for me to open my mini beauty supply store). I enjoyed attending the Mizani booth and learning about what to expect from a salon service. It shouldn’t be anything less than excellent if you are paying for it.
Mizani is for all hair types and you can learn more about the products on the site Mizani.com

Unfortunately, yes I have and I am still letting my hair grow out from it!! Soon I will be able to go and have it styled again-hopefully better then the last time!
Bronner Bros is new to me, but I love the look of a lot of their styles. Sleek and still comfortable looking. Texture is really important to consider when choosing clothes!
Wow, what an awesome prize basket, looks like a ton of product! Congrats for winning 🙂 This hair care system definitely looks like it lives up to its promises!
Hi Kiwi! 🙂 I just love Mizani products. All my experiences have been really good, from the shampoo/conditioner to the setting lotion. The models look amazing and the event looked like it was lots of fun.
Once, I waited 2 hours in a chair at a salon to get my eyebrows tweezed. It literally took her 5 minutes to do, but she was so busy with everyone else. Never again!
I’ve heard so many things about the Bronner Brothers hair show over the years. I didn’t know they got into depth about salon experiences, etiquette, etc. I’ve spent 7 hours in my salon due to the typical nonsense that occurs in most black owned salons, talking on the phone, taking lunch breaks, leaving to run errands, too many clients booked etc. That’s why I went natural.
whoa! look at the size of that basket. congrats on winning! 😀 everyone’s hair looks so great! i was just talking about how it’s been a while since i’ve been to a salon i haven’t found my hair person since i moved from atlanta.
Looks like it was a fun event and it’s good that you feel better enough to attend the show. I’ve heard lots of good things about this show. I loved Mizani products when I was relaxed but haven’t try them on my natural hair yet looks like a nice package you won. Let us know how you like it.
I’ve always wanted to attend a Bronner Bros Show. Nobody does hair like the A and I so need to experience that. I’m old school I still use B&B hair grease on my daughters hair.
Funny enough because before I went natural, I used Mizani products probably about 90% of the time. I didn’t even realize (or think to look) that they had products for natural hair. But yes, I’ve definitely had an unprofessional hair experience (or two). One was the first time I decided to let a stylist blow out my natural hair…BIG mistake. Heat damage like crazy -_-

Yes, but fortunately it was years ago and I never went back to that salon! How awesome that you won the contest. I never seem to be that lucky! 🙂
