What is on your education wish list this year? There are now so many great nail networking events to choose from that it’s harder to narrow down the choices than to find something to attend.
If you specialize in nails, sometimes a networking event or nails-only tradeshow will give you more bang for your buck than a general beauty event. With the focus of these events being nails, you will spend less time fighting crowds of hairdressers and more time taking classes and being able to hear educators one-on-one across the demo table.
There are now nail-focused events on both sides of the U.S., plus the Best lil’ Nail Show Texas, which is right in the center for easy access! For our neighbors to the north, there are also some networking events on each side of Canada!
Here are the 2019 shows and networking events tentatively on my schedule so far:
January: 2019 Nail Those Profits Cruise
April: Best lil’ Nail Show Texas
May: Nail Camp Georgia
June: Premiere Orlando
September: Armstrong McCall World’s Fair
October: NW Nail Tech Retreat
Some notable mentions not on my schedule yet are:
