These results reflect the general confidence and optimism of the market, as well as the positive reception of the event’s new format, with the coordinated opening of all pavilions on the same day, Thursday, March 21st, to facilitate a multi-channel approach.

The pavilions dedicated to the professional channels of Cosmo Hair Nail & Beauty Salon will be open for 4 days and will close on Sunday, March 24th. The decision to revise the dates is motivated by changes in the habits of industry operators. The opening of all pavilions on Thursday will facilitate contact between companies and international operators across all distribution channels.
