Show management of america’s beauty show has contracted and worked with mike esa and his team on numerous productions in our recent history. Mike’s attention to the smallest detail, his organizational ability, his knowledge of american labor laws and his keen sense of stagecraft make his efforts for beauty stage productions invaluable. When mike and his team produced an event for abs, i never had to put another thought or concern into the execution of the event or special presentation. I had total confidence that the production would be carried out with precision, would be on time, would come in on budget and would offer great service to every need of the talent. I highly recommend mike and his entire team. - PAUL DYKSTRA, CEO AMERCIAS BEAUTY SHOW

Just wanted to congratulate you on your brilliant concept and your amazing team! Everything looks amazing. MARLENE ARCE, VP OF GLOBAL EDUCATION

Over many years, Mike Esa and his team have created a substantial and enduring body of high quality shows, presentations and high level happenings and in my view is the world's best in elevating hair and fashion to pinnacle levels. Both as the founder of hair expo and more recently via culture media, i have worked with mike since the early 1990's and he has never failed to clearly grasp the vision that underpins the particular event. Mike Esa will take the events core value and in varied and exciting ways, ensure that the client or artist always surprises and delights their audience. Esa adds the polish, but always allows the unique essence and creativity of the work shine through. ... - PURMINDA MONDAIR, HEAD OF MARKETING, SLOGGI
