My time at HEBS 2025 was amazing! I’ve never been to a hair show before, and let me just say, it was an EXPERIENCE! What stood out most was how many creatives were in the room, all open to sharing their skills and helping each other grow. I learned so much, and what I really loved was how welcoming the space felt. I didn’t need to know a thing to feel like I belonged.

Thank you so much for everything. I had such a wonderful time at HEBS 2025. It was a 10/10 experience! The panelists were lovely and the overall experience was phenomenal! It would be an honor to do it again next year, if you all will have me.

The education and wellness component focusing on the Afro-Latinx space is long overdue. Attending HEBS 2025, I was thrilled to see an entire panel discussion covering such! Bravo!!!
