Can you get into any without being a licensed professional?

I would love to go to the ABS (Midwest Beauty Show in Chicago) I went this past march and had so much fun, plus both my sisters live in that area, and one just started cosmetology school a few months ago, so it would be fun to go to something like that with her, she hasnt been able to get to one yet. Love hair shows!!!!

darn you Chi-Town women! I'm in CA, but yu ARE getting me excited! Are hair shows like a big swapmeet (ie people selling the hottest, newest things)?

I always go to the HBA show in NY but it's not until Sept....You do not have to have a license to get in if you know someone who does and is going or registered ....they usually can give you a guest pass.

Im in Texas and when I went I went with our Cosmo school, we raised the airfare money and the hotel money doing fundraisers and stuff. We made enough money for about 18-20 people to go so all we did was register with NCA and got tickets to the show for free (same price as paying NCA membership plus a subscription to a few beauty mags for free ) and spending money. and boy did we spend. I love watching platform cuts and color. I want to go again!!!!!!!!!!

oh yea lots of hot new things for discounted prices! you should def go! there's a bunch of exhibitors, shows, there's famous stylists that perform their work on models, there's small shows at the booths like paul mitchell i remember where they had a team of stylists doing cuts on models, talking about the products/school, and asking q's and throwing prizes at you if you get it right, there's a lot goin on...its too much fun and coming home with all those goodies just makes you so excited and happy!

For those of you who are interested or willing to travel...Miami Beach has a Makeup/Hair Show in Feb '09. This event is put on by the Powder Group & as you can imagine, MAC has a strong presence in the show. Since there is no licensure for MakeUp Artistry in Florida professionals & non-professionals alike are welcome to attend. I went last year & the free seminars alone are worth the ticket price (3-days $75 or $45 a day + parking on the Beach $10-$15).

::: Miami Beach Convention Center :: Calendar of Events : Calendar of Events: Calendar View


For more national tradeshow news you can ck out Cosmetic Trade Shows,Beauty Products Exhibitions,Cosmetic Products Exhibitions,Beauty Products & Services Expos

If you've never been to a Makeup Trade Show I highly recommend you go at least once. Our community is so diverse spanning from "old time" professionals to novices all with a talent & desire to share their Artistry with you.

i am going to the chicago show with my hair dresser that has been doing my hair since I was 16.. she invited me because she knows how much I loveeee makeup! I love her, she is the best in chicago hands down.

Does the Miami show have their own website? I would LOVE to go, and would like more info. Thanks for the heads up!

[Jewelybug]

ACtually... I think I found it.
The Makeup Show...but it says they wont be doing the Miami show this year. I'm confused lol

[sinergy]

I dont think I can afford to go this year, but I really really want to go. My sis lives in chicago so she will probably be there this year without me!!!!

[wifey806]

^^^ aww I'm sorry hopefully she'll buy you something!

Also, if any of you guys have Netflix, you should totally watch "Hair World". It's in the documentary section, it's a watch-it-now option. It will make you wish the hair shows were like riiiight now!!

[sinergy]

^thanks for the info!!! I was supposed to compete for my school last year when we went to a hairshow, but they pulled us out, staff was changing around and they said they couldn't concentrate on practicing with us or whatever. But in at the ABS I got to see them suckazzz in action! awesome!!!! and I loved the makeup competition!
