Hair Expo Australia was a blast! The energy and atmosphere was electric. It's fantastic to catch up and hear from our customers, to see the who's who's of our industry, new skills and training techniques being shared and all the new products on offer. 

We absolutely love hearing all your feedback on our products! You told us our GKMBJ shampoo and conditioner is very concentrated, and it's wonderful to hear your thoughts and comments - "use less", "it's better value", hair is "nice, shiny and smooth" and "leaves the hair in great condition". Richard Reed was a special guest at the Expo and he commented on GKMBJ 's "sexy and nice fragrance". Thanks Richard!

We were blown away hearing you felt our GKMBJ One Minute Treatment is "the best treatment ever" (we think it's pretty awesome too :) ) and our GKMBJ Nourishing Intensive Treatment 500ml is "theee Bomb and the fragrance to die for". 

You thought our GKMBJ Packs were "value for money". Our Hydrating Treatment Pack has sold out, but all other packs are currently still on sale here at an amazing price!

We've been listening and making some changes. We gave our expo visitors a little sneak peek at our new packaging, which was well received. It's now clearly colour coded, making it easier for you to find your favourite shampoo or conditioner. You can match in like with like, or alternatively choose a shampoo or conditioner to suit your needs. Thanks for the positive feedback!

Thanks to everyone who came past our GKMBJ stand. It was great seeing familiar faces as well as meeting new ones. We can't wait to do it all again next year!
