Felicitas Ordás, President of Club Fígaro, gave an emotional speech in which she highlighted the important role of hairdressing professionals for society as a whole, especially in difficult times, and encouraged them to “give clients our best version, being more positive, giving added value to our service and providing them with authentic experiences during their visits. This is the future of hairdressing: to fill our clients with excitement and emotion. Let’s not be afraid to value ourselves for our work”. He also highlighted Club Fígaro’s commitment to thrill and create unforgettable experiences, thanks to novelties such as Fígaro Experience.
