I read all of the salon magazines. My wife thinks I just like to look at the pictures; but the truth is, it's a great way to stay on top of the Salon Industry.
One publication that gives me the best insight into the industry (but no pictures or fluff) is the Beauty Industry Report Newsletter. Editor, Mike Nave, provides straight information and facts without all the glitter. It is one publication that I read the day that it hits my desk.
