About Hair Shows in the USA
Hair shows in the USA are big, busy and full of energy, with stylists, colourists, barbers and salon owners travelling between them each year to learn, shop and compete. The calendar is national, so wherever you are based there is usually a major show within reach.
The headline events follow the seasons. Premiere Anaheim opens the West Coast year in February, America's Beauty Show takes over Rosemont near Chicago each spring, and Premiere Orlando draws a huge crowd every June, with the NAHA awards held alongside it. Be+Well New York brings hair education to the Javits Center in March, and Cosmoprof North America runs in Miami Beach in winter and Las Vegas in summer for anyone buying for a salon. For barbers there is a lively run of battles and expos, from the CT Barber Expo and Barber Grammys at Mohegan Sun to the HEBS Barber Games in Secaucus, while Serious Business in New Orleans focuses on the business side of the salon.
Below you will find every hair show in the USA with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can pick the events that fit your goals.

Getting around
The biggest hair shows sit in cities with large airports and purpose built convention centres. Orlando's Orange County Convention Center is on International Drive, a short drive from Orlando International. Anaheim Convention Center is beside the Disneyland Resort, with Los Angeles, Orange County and Long Beach airports all nearby. For America's Beauty Show, the Rosemont campus is one stop from O'Hare on the CTA Blue Line, and New York's Javits Center is on the 7 train at Hudson Yards.
Where to stay
Premiere Orlando and Premiere Anaheim both have plenty of hotels within walking distance of the halls, which makes early classes easier. In Chicago, the hotels on the Rosemont campus connect to the convention center, and in New York, Midtown West puts you close to the Javits Center. For barber events held at resorts, such as Mohegan Sun, staying on site is the simplest choice.
Making the most of US hair shows
- Most of the large shows are for licensed professionals and cosmetology students, so carry your licence or student ID.
- Book the classes you want as soon as they open. Hands on workshops sell out first.
- Look at the competition schedule. Many shows host hair and barber battles you can enter or watch.
- Bring a team. Several shows offer salon group passes, and it lets you cover more of the education.
