Hair Conferences 2027

Hair conferences and conventions give stylists, colourists and salon owners a few days to step away from the column and think bigger. Alongside main stage shows you will find business seminars, colour and cutting education, trend talks and the chance to meet educators you have followed for years.

The 2027 year starts in North America with Serious Business in New Orleans and Cosmoprof North America in Miami Beach in January, while salon owners in Ireland gather for the Phorest Salon Owners Summit in Killarney the same month. Spring brings Be+Well New York and Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna in March, then hair Düsseldorf, Expocosmetica in Porto and The ESI Show Toronto in April. June is packed with Premiere Orlando, Be+Well Las Vegas, Beautyworld Riyadh and the Beyond the Chair Conference, and Cosmoprof North America returns to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas in July. Later in the year, Beauty Fair in São Paulo and Beauty Days in Warsaw run in September, and Beautyworld Middle East comes to Dubai in October.

Every hair conference is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can choose the conventions that will move your salon forward.

How the convention year flows

January is the season for salon business events, spring and early summer bring the large education led conventions in Europe and North America, and autumn turns to the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Many stylists choose one creative event and one business event each year.

Finding the right fit

• For salon owners: Serious Business, the Phorest Salon Owners Summit and Beyond the Chair focus on leadership, money and growth.
• For technique: Premiere Orlando, hair Düsseldorf and The ESI Show Toronto pack their programmes with cutting, colour and styling education.
• For the global picture: Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna and Cosmoprof North America bring brands and speakers from many countries.
• For students: SkillsUSA in Atlanta mixes competitions with learning.

Travelling to a convention

Popular classes and seminars can sell out, so register for sessions as soon as programmes are published. Check whether the event is trade only, and book a hotel close to the venue so you can make the most of evening events.
