Beauty trade show season is about to kick off with ISSE (International Salon & Spa Expo) in Long Beach on January 29-31. It’s a great show that we NAILS editors attend every year.

This year, the PBA is giving away free tickets to some of its lucky Facebook fans. All you have to do to be eligible for the random giveaways is to follow the show on Facebook: www.facebook.com/pbaisse. One lucky licensed beauty professional will be chosen each week until January 24 from among the fans. This is a $100 value (compared to the at-the-door price for this ticket).

Please keep in mind that all winners will still be responsible for their own travel, hotel, and any other show-related expenses. Still, it’s a great opportunity to possibly get great product deals on the show floor, see new product launches, and attend all complimentary educational classes, especially if you live nearby or were on the fence about attending — you may as well throw your hat into the ring. Good luck!
