Mitch dancers take the crowd by storm during the opening day of Paul Mitchell's Gathering
Las Vegas's Aria Hotel got hotter than usual thanks to the nearly 4,000 stylists and beauty enthusiasts who attended the annual Paul Mitchell Gathering July 15 to 17, 2012. The theme of this year's educational extravaganza was I'MPOSSIBLE - because you are possible when you have the right education and inspiration.
Launchpad was treated to a special sneak preview of the new Curls line and encouraged to broadcast our curl secrets in special confession booths and on Twitter at #curlconfession during the Truth About Curls cocktail hour. (And trust me, after a few sips of the Patron-inspired Curl-ritas, I would have confessed to nearly anything! Click here for the recipes!)
Paul Mitchell's message = I'mPossible
