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!!!!

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.

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.
