Pretty Local LI

What are these Pretty Local LI Industry Nights I keep posting about? Take a peek at last week’s event, where esthetician Ian Michael Crumm, makeup artist Erica Taylor, and publicist Jennifer Conlon-Pavelchak talked about social media with a roomful of Long Island-based beauty and wellness professionals. As someone who has spent over two decades reporting on the national beauty industry, Pretty Local isn’t just about turning my attention to local beauty. It’s about bringing my two worlds together. And as you can see by the energy in the room that night, it works! These events are held at the prestigious Long Island Nail Skin & Hair Institute—the perfect venue. The school, founded by Dana Persico, has launched many successful beauty entrepreneurs over the years and is at the forefront of education and innovation. Thank you, sponsors: LINSHI, ISDIN USA/Donna Arigo, Richner Communications, Inc. /Herald, and Bottega Viana wines. Beauty pros and brands, if you would like to get involved in future events, please reach out.
