We request that you submit your application 30 days prior to the first day of the Atelier. Please make sure you submit your application to Brittany Williams in the ICA President s Office at Brittany@salonvisage.com. If I am unsure of when I want to apply to Intercoiffure America/Canada, should I submit my application anyway? Yes; your application will be valid for one calendar year from the date it is received. Once I fill out my application and submit it to the President s office, what do I do? You will be contacted by the New Membership Chairman within 14 days. If you have not been contacted, please call the President s office at to check the status of your application. When do I interview with the Membership committee? The Membership Chairman will contact you about setting up your interview time. Typically, your interview will take place at the Atelier closest to your application date. However, all scheduling conflicts are taken into consideration by the Intercoiffure Membership committee.

16 What do I bring to my interview? Portfolio of your work; pictures of your salon(s); detailed information on your training program; your community outreach program(s) and any charities you support; as well as any publications you, your team or your company have appeared in.

No, but they may attend as a guest for all other events during the Atelier weekend. How long does the interview take? The interview takes approximately thirty minutes.

17 Should I bring my computer to show any flash drive videos? Not necessary; we will provide a device to play your flash drive. Please feel free to bring it if you would like to share any additional media with us, however. How do I find out if I am accepted, tabled, or declined? You will be informed no later than two weeks following the Atelier at which you interviewed of the decision made by the Board of Directors. If I am tabled, what exactly does that mean? This means your application was not accepted. However, you may certainly apply again in the future, and are encouraged to do so. In many cases, the New Membership Committee and/or the Board of Directors will have feedback that will be beneficial when reapplying. If I am accepted as a member/partner, when do I get pinned? You will be proudly pinned at the next Atelier following your interview. What is involved with the pinning process? You will be presented with your official member or partner pin in front of your peers. Photo opportunities are also available. Details will be sent by the Membership Chairman prior to the event.
