After 15 months without any major exhibitions or shows, the whole hair and beauty industry is eagerly awaiting the return to meeting in person: an activity that represents a fundamental part of French life and an unreplaceable need for the international community.
After so many changes and postponements, this time we believe it’s finally going to happen! MCB by Beauté Sélection is all ready for the off at Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, from September 4th-6th.
Even if the dimensions will be a little smaller than usual and the number of foreign visitors will no doubt be fewer, everyone concerned is more than happy to see the reopening of an event that sit at the very heart of the French beauty business.
