GLAMSQUAD

This is what happens when you put hundreds of industry leaders in one room... On Friday, we hosted the #RealSelfRealTalk Summit. Industry leaders, top beauty editors, RealSelf Verified Providers, brand founders, and creators filled the room for a full day of honest, unfiltered conversation about where aesthetics is headed and what it takes to stay ahead.   Ten panels. Six brand activations. Hundreds of experts. Zero gatekeeping. Here's what went down. THE ACTIVATIONS: Our sponsor partners did not just show up. They created moments attendees are still talking about.   ✨ ( plated )™ Skin Science brought exosomes into the conversation with a custom skin science quiz, a deep dive into regenerative aesthetics, and a build-your-own glow kit that sent everyone home with a next-level skincare routine.   ✨ Obagi turned their lounge into a full sensory experience: attendees made their own HA gel, got scalp massages by GLAMSQUAD using Nu-Cil BioStim Scalp Serum, and got the full download on MagIQ, their first-ever injectable.   ✨ Canfield Scientific offered complimentary VISIA 3D skin and scalp scans that gave every guest a real, definitive baseline for their skin's quality, age, and more. The data doesn't lie, and neither did the lines to get scanned.   ✨ Restore Hyper Wellness had guests strapping into compression boots and never wanting to leave. Tension out, circulation up, body fully recharged.   ✨ WTHN offered personalized on-site acupuncture and ear seeding, tailored to what each attendee actually needed in that moment. Ancient wellness, completely modernized.   ✨ BonBon - A Swedish Candy Co. rolled in with a full candy cart. Sweetest activation of the day, full stop.   And keeping everyone fueled and refreshed throughout: Joe Coffee Company on the coffee bar, and Hint Inc., Hampton Water Wine Co., and De Soi pouring at happy hour. THE GIFT BAGS: No summit exit is complete without a seriously good gift bag, and we did not disappoint. Attendees left with an edit of some of our favorite brands in beauty, wellness, and aesthetics packed into one very covetable bag.   A huge thank you to the brands who made it special: banu, Dr. Diamond's Metacine, Dr. Idriss, Iris&Romeo, Metagenics, Obagi, ( plated )™ Skin Science, The Good Patch, and Yepoda.

We were honored to partner with Vogue at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2026 Met Gala—where beauty was every bit as much a work of art as fashion itself. In collaboration with Dre Demry-Sanders, our team helped bring the night’s creative vision to life, using hero products from OLAPLEX and the SharkNinja SpeedStyle Pro Flex to craft standout hair moments that celebrated artistry at every detail. https://lnkd.in/eH4d-nUg

Last week we had an evening defined by thoughtful conversation and exceptional company. We co-hosted an intimate private dinner in NYC alongside Puck News—bringing our community together for a night of connection, perspective, and moments that linger well beyond the table. 📸: BFA / David Benthal
