Habia, the government approved standards setting body for hair, beauty, nails and spa, has named Edinburgh as the next city to host its educational conference. The event is to take place on the 29 November 2010 at the Roxburghe Hotel and will review and expand on the discussions held at the previous gathering in London in June, but this time with a focus on the issues and practices affecting industry professionals in northern England and Scotland.
