Hair Shows in Orlando

Orlando is where the hair world gathers each June. The city's hair calendar centres on one big weekend at the Orange County Convention Center, combining a full trade show with the most celebrated awards night in North American hairdressing.

Premiere Orlando Beauty Show runs over three days in the West Concourse, with hair and barbering education, main stage shows, competitions and a large floor of professional brands, alongside nails, makeup, skin and lashes. In the middle of that weekend, the Professional Beauty Association hosts NAHA, the North American Hairstyling Awards, honouring stylists, colourists, barbers, educators and salon teams. For many professionals, the chance to learn by day and celebrate the craft by night makes Orlando the highlight of the year, and many salons bring the whole team.

Every hair show in Orlando is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can plan your June trip.

Getting there

Orlando International Airport is the main gateway and is a short drive from the convention district on International Drive. Taxis, rideshare and hotel shuttles are the usual ways to reach the Orange County Convention Center.

Where to stay

International Drive has a wide range of hotels close to the convention center, from large resorts beside the halls to budget options a little further along. The I-Ride Trolley runs up and down International Drive and makes it easy to travel without a car.

Making the most of Premiere and NAHA

• Premiere Orlando and NAHA are trade only, so bring your licence or student ID.
• Book education classes early, as popular sessions fill quickly.
• NAHA is a dressy evening, so pack an outfit for the awards.
• June is hot and humid with afternoon storms, so plan indoor time and carry an umbrella.
