Advance registration for the annual Nail Tech Networking Event of the Smokies closes in less than a week (on June 12, to be exact), so if you’ve been thinking about attending this much-lauded event, be sure to get your registration info in. After June 12, it’s cash only at the door and the price goes up to $65. (It’s currently $55.)

Nail tech Jill Wright, owner of Jill’s—A Place for Nails, has been organizing this nail-focused event for the past three years. She says, “You are cordially invited to attend the 4th Annual Nail Tech Networking Event of the Smokies, where nail techs are the stars! Combining the best of both worlds by mixing the aspects of a big show with the intimacy of private classes, with the focus being on nails. That means no hair products, no tacky baubles, no corsets...only nails & nail products demo'd by top educators!” The event takes place in Gatlinburg, Tenn., so if you have extra time during your trip, be sure to visit some of the city’s tourist attractions.

To register, just send a check or money order only (sorry, no Paypal or credit/debit cards accepted) made out to Jill Wright to the salon address below:
Jill's- A Place for Nails
c/o Jill Wright
720 Chestnut St.
Bowling Green, KY. 42101

Once your check or money order is received, a receipt will be e-mailed to you and your name will be added to the guest list. Please be sure to include your e-mail address along with your registration payment. And since it’s so close to the deadline, go ahead and e-mail Jill at jnails1[at]hotmail.com to give her a heads-up if your check is on the way.
