Ohio Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Expo, Toledo, OH
The purpose of The Northwest Ohio Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Expo is to Inform and Inspire the natural hair community through Educational Workshops, Encouraging Forums & Exhibits and Empowering Performances by local artists, exhibitors and professionals.
The Northwest Ohio Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Expo is the only event of its kind held in Toledo, Ohio. Now in its fifth year, the expo has drawn over 2000 visitors from across the US! It began with an idea to provide an event that promoted the empowerment and embracing of natural hair and beauty in the local community. Many have heard of these types of events, but weren't able to travel the distance to attend. Through the building of relationships in the community with free workshops and classes throughout each year, The Kitchen Salon is the main sponsor of this annual expo.
Megan Davis, Expo Director, says, “This Expo has something for every natural hair enthusiast — with info-filled seminars, hands-on workshops, entertainment, food, and several vendor booths exhibiting the latest apparel, products, tools, and supplies. It's like planning a party for 500 Curlfriends! We have guests from across Ohio and the US come for the full day of festivities.”
There is a huge vendor floor, frequent demonstrations and performances on the center stage, and professionals throughout the day exhibiting their products and services and leading workshops.
The Kitchen Salon has been a Natural & Locked Hair resource since 2007. Rich in articles covering a wide range of topics from transitioning to natural hair to dealing with social/political hair issues, this online resource has been providing information and inspiration since its conception in the 90′s.
The Kitchen Salon is the official sponsor of the Expo and also offers community classes and a line of natural hair and skin care products for the whole family.
