About Beauty Events in Germany
Germany is one of Europe's great trade fair nations, and its beauty calendar reflects that: a handful of large, well organised events that draw professionals from across the continent rather than a long list of small shows.
The heart of the year is spring in Düsseldorf, when BEAUTY DÜSSELDORF fills Messe Düsseldorf with cosmetics, nails, lashes and brows, makeup and spa brands, alongside education programmes, competitions and awards. Running over the same weekend in the neighbouring halls, hair Düsseldorf brings hairdressers and barbers together for conferences, education and trade buying, so one trip covers almost every part of the industry. In the autumn the focus moves south to Munich, where the BEAUTY FORUM Stars Award celebrates the people and businesses behind German beauty with an elegant evening at the Kempinski Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten.
Every beauty event in Germany is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can choose your shows and plan the trip with confidence.
Every event, in date order
Plan your trip
Getting around
Düsseldorf is the main destination. Messe Düsseldorf sits on the north side of the city, a short taxi ride from Düsseldorf Airport, and the U78 light rail runs from the main station straight to the exhibition grounds. Munich is a separate trip: the Kempinski Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten is on Maximilianstraße in the city centre, and the S Bahn connects Munich Airport with the centre. Germany's high speed trains link the two cities well if you want to combine visits.
Where to stay
During the spring fairs, hotels around the Messe and in central Düsseldorf book up quickly, so reserve as soon as dates are confirmed. Many visitors stay in the Altstadt and ride the U78 each morning, while others look to nearby Neuss or Cologne when the city is full. For the Munich awards, a room at the Kempinski or in the old town keeps the evening relaxed.
Tips for German events
- All three events are for the trade, so register in advance and keep proof of your profession to hand.
- Plan two days in Düsseldorf if you work in both beauty and hair, as the two fairs share a weekend.
- Check the competition schedule at BEAUTY DÜSSELDORF early if you want to enter.
- Dress for a gala at the Stars Award, which is a formal evening.
