St. Louis native, salon owner, and international stylist Coach Feva G. is set to bring an innovative and powerful event to the local beauty community: The Beauty Konnect Bridging The Gap Career Fair and Expo. The event will be held on Sunday, October 19, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at District #9 Machinist Hall, 12365 Saint Charles Rock Road, Bridgeton, MO 63044.

For just $10 general admission or $25 VIP (includes classes, courses, and workshops), attendees will have access to a groundbreaking career fair designed not only to connect stylists with salon owners who are actively hiring, but also to provide essential resources that strengthen long-term careers in the beauty industry. Tickets are available now at www.thebeautykonnect.com.

A Diverse Journey to Success

Born and raised in St. Louis’ Central West End, Feva experienced a childhood that was both diverse and challenging. While she was fortunate to attend excellent schools and participate in programs such as modeling, drama, etiquette, and tap, she also grew up in poverty, learning early on how to stretch limited resources.

Her passion for hair sparked at just seven years old. After a playful “who has longer hair” competition with her sister went wrong—resulting in a bowl-cut reminiscent of Moe from The Three Stooges—Feva grabbed her mother’s curling iron, some spritz, and transformed her look into a Patti LaBelle-inspired style. Though she was punished for rummaging through her mother’s things, her mother was also impressed and asked how she managed to create the look. Feva jokes, “My mom whooped me right into a career path.”

That moment became the beginning of a lifelong journey. Today, with over 20 years of salon ownership as the operator of Hair Relics Beauty & Nail Salon, Coach Feva has built a reputation as a certified trichologist, licensed educator, international stylist, mentor, public speaker, and published author. She has coached entrepreneurs, graced the runways of Fashion Week as a prominent stylist, and guided countless professionals through the ever-changing beauty industry.

A Vision for The Beauty Konnect

Coach Feva’s idea for The Beauty Konnect Bridging The Gap Career Fair and Expo was born overseas. While in Paris, she gathered feedback from nearly 200 hairstylists from around the globe and asked them how impactful it would be to have a career fair exclusively for beauty professionals. The overwhelming response—from England to Canada—was that the industry desperately needed such an event.

Unlike traditional expos, The Beauty Konnect Bridging The Gap Career Fair and Expo is designed as a resource hub. While salon owners will indeed be present to hire talent, the event goes far beyond just matching stylists with jobs.

Attendees will also have access to:

Banks & financial literacy experts

Business planning and development resources

Insurance and investment guidance

Tradespeople (electricians, plumbers, carpenters, handymen)—because salons need reliable support when things break down

Credit restoration specialists

Therapists to support mental health

Salon owners and business mentors

Additionally, Dutchess of Ink—formally known from Black Ink Crew—will be present, tattooing live on site. She’ll even be looking for a guest tattoo artist to work alongside her during the expo.

Building Careers and Communities

What separates this expo from others, according to Coach Feva, is that salon owners will be actively hiring on the spot. Beyond just networking, the goal is to help salon owners keep their doors open while giving stylists, barbers, and beauty professionals a direct pathway into sustainable careers.

“They already have the skills,” Feva explains, “but I want to make sure they are prepared for what they’re entering into. This expo will provide them with the resources and the connections they need to not only survive, but thrive.”

The Legacy of Coach Feva G.

When asked what she wants her legacy to be, Coach Feva G. is clear and heartfelt:

“That my mission is to uplift, inspire, and educate you right out of the darkness into the light.”

With The Beauty Konnect Bridging The Gap Career Fair and Expo, she’s living that mission—creating a space where beauty meets opportunity, and where the next generation of professionals can find both mentorship and a future.
