REGISTRATION DISCOUNTS FOR GROUP BOOKINGS NOW AVAILABLE
We've heard your feedback and recognise that salon owners and apprentices are really looking forward to coming to our 40th celebrations but for largers salons with large numbers of staff, the costs can be higher than expected. We also recognise that the current ecomomic outlook is placing a squeeze on larger salons too.

So HITO is pleased to announce that for those salons who book 7 or more places for the weekend, there will be a registration discount. For block bookings of 7 or more people, the $50 registration fee per person will be reduced to $50 for the booking.

This is a great saving for larger salons meaning a saving of $300 for a booking of 7 or $450 for a booking of 10 people.

If you would like to take advantage of this saving, please register and write "BLOCK BOOKING" in the comments section of the registration form.
