LONGVIEW, Texas (KLTV) - East Texas barbers and cosmetologists are invited to sharpen their business skills at Behind the Chair, a networking event scheduled for this weekend in Longview.

The event, scheduled to take place Sunday at the Sweet Hills Wedding Convention Center, plans to bring industry professionals together for conversations that go beyond the cut and color.

"We have people coming out to talk about different things from financial freedom, taxes, LLCs, social media, marketing, content creating, pretty much behind the chair things that you need to know to get from behind the chair," said co-organizer Jonathan Lovely.
