Wrapped up coverage of the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Salon & Spa Expo organized by theartistspaletteinvolved. I’m still blown away by how much artistry and purpose live in this industry. There are a lot of parallels between hairstylists and photographers. Creativity meets craft, and the goal is the same: serve people well, help them feel seen, and support the community around you. Grateful I could document a day that celebrates that. Hosted at the beautiful themarylandtheatre in downtown Hagerstown, MD. Some of the educators and stylists sharing their insight and knowledge: lyssblairehair collinmartin_hair beccawiththegoodhair7 hairbyhunty thespacecatproject taylorjamesoneducation_ hairlab.uk mattconnhair brookelemastershair lisa_baker_houck_ francescarivetti_hairart #sonyalpha #CrvnkaPhotography
