Beauty Trade Shows in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is one of the most important cities in the world for beauty trade shows. When buyers, distributors, salon owners and clinic teams want to see a whole market in one visit, the shows here deliver huge exhibition floors and brands launching new lines.

The busiest stretch runs from spring to summer. The ISPA Conference and Expo opens the season in March for spa professionals, the Medical Spa Show and the Multispecialty Aesthetic Conference follow in April, and Be+Well Las Vegas brings a broad trade floor to the Las Vegas Convention Center in June. July is the peak, with The Aesthetic Show at Wynn and Cosmoprof North America at Mandalay Bay, the leading buying event for professional beauty in the region. The World Massage Festival at Planet Hollywood adds a trade show for massage and spa in late July, and MedSpa Pro at The Venetian rounds off the year each December.

Every beauty trade show in Las Vegas is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can plan your buying trips for the year ahead.

Getting there

Harry Reid International Airport is close to the south end of the Strip, which suits Cosmoprof visitors heading to Mandalay Bay. The Las Vegas Convention Center is served by its own Monorail station, and the resort venues are easy to reach by taxi or rideshare.

Where to stay

Match your hotel to your main show: the south Strip for Mandalay Bay, the north and centre of the Strip for Wynn and The Venetian, and a Monorail resort for the convention center. Trade show weeks bring big crowds, so book early.

Buying at a trade show

• Cosmoprof North America, The Aesthetic Show and the Multispecialty Aesthetic Conference are trade only, so register with your business details in advance.
• Make a list of the brands you want to meet and book appointments where you can.
• Ask exhibitors about shipping orders home rather than carrying stock.
• Bring plenty of business cards and a way to log the contacts you make.
