Over May 18 to 21, Smiths Collective Brands and INNOluxe are taking to the Tanadewa Resort in Bali to host Power-up In Bali, with national, award-winning hairdressing talent Sharlene Lee and UK hairdressing leader Sophia Hilton as headliners. The business retreat offers guests inspiring business sessions alongside relaxation and mindful self-development for attendees to truly reset.
“Our primary goals with this once in a lifetime retreat is to showcase Smiths Collective brands and the incomparable INNOluxe brand, and by bringing together Sophia and Sharlene, dynamic business owners and educators who share their knowledge and passion on the world stage, we aim to inspire and empower salon owners to achieve their business goals and dreams,” shared Brian and Jane Smith, Co-founders of Smiths Collective Brands.
“Harnessing Sophia’s and Sharlene’s uniquely different approaches to business, we believe that attendees will leave the retreat with a clear focus and direction for their business, inspired by two truly successful and powerful salon owners. Sharing days and nights together at an amazing resort, this business owners’ retreat will allow attendees to focus on themselves, their goals and their future business directions.”

The exclusive event has only 35 places available and includes three nights of accommodation at the luxury Tanadewa Resort, including exclusive event hire, all meals, drinks and entertainment and daily yoga and mindfulness sessions. It also includes a one-hour relaxing massage, two days of relevant and engaging workshops with Sophia and Sharlene and plenty of time by the pool and to network with fellow attendees.
Relaxation is a central component of the event to ensure attendees gain clarity, boost their confidence and realign their goals to better elevate their business, alongside essential business education that Sharlene describes as “no fluff, no secrets, just raw honest conversations about every challenge you’re facing; let’s breakthrough the fear and make changes that will transform your business”.


“I want the attendees to walk away with real, actionable strategies they can implement in their salon business immediately. It’s not just about inspiration—it’s about practical changes that will drive results,” Sharlene added. “This isn’t a one-size-fits-all seminar—we’re here to answer specific questions and provide personalised advice tailored to each attendee’s business. Everyone will leave with insights that truly apply to them.”
Attendees will gain from the exclusive setting and time given with these global hairdressing experts in the intimate setting of a small group experience.
“This isn’t a niche spiritual experience with no practical help,” Sophia explained. “It’s a hard core strong business course with elements of connecting to yourself and your greater purpose. Sometimes we find ourselves just always just ‘doing’ without the time to reflect to find out what we’re doing is even what we want. The retreat gives that opportunity to step back and look at aspects of our business we might be missing, as well as the parts of ourselves we’re no longer seeing.”
The duo laud the opportunity to connect with other salon owners, while getting away from the salon to grow without the usual daily distractions of a frenetic business, in an experience Sophia describes as “transformational”.
“Business is so easy to overlook an investment in yourself, but we can’t pull from an empty cup,” Sophia shared. “This retreat will give you all the energy you need to get back in the ring fighting again – fighting for the life and business you want.”
“I’m really looking forward to helping everyone refine and grow their salon businesses with advice that’s specific to their challenges. Seeing people have those ‘lightbulb moments’ and knowing they can go back and make real changes is what excites me the most,” Sharlene added. “This is your chance to breakthrough and finally become the salon owner you have always dreamed of becoming.”
