Lash and Brow Events in the USA

Lash and brow events in the USA are some of the most community driven in the industry. Lash artists, brow specialists and permanent makeup artists gather to learn new styling and retention techniques, compete and grow their businesses.

Spring is the busiest season. NYC Lash Elite brings awards, business sessions and competitions to The View by Landmark in Jersey City each April, and Lash Boss Summit meets at the Austin Convention Center in the same month, with competitions, conferences and a trade floor. In autumn, LASHCON returns to the Hilton Pasadena each September and the SPCP Convention in Tulsa covers permanent brows and cosmetics in October. PMU World at Sea takes permanent makeup education onto a cruise from PortMiami each October. Lash and brow brands also exhibit at the Premiere shows and at Be+Well New York and Las Vegas.

Every lash and brow event in the USA is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can find your next conference or competition.

Getting around

Jersey City is across the Hudson from Manhattan, with PATH trains linking the two and Newark Liberty close by. Austin Convention Center is downtown, a short drive from Austin Bergstrom International. Pasadena is northeast of downtown Los Angeles, reached by the Metro A Line, with Hollywood Burbank Airport nearby.

Where to stay

LASHCON is held at the Hilton Pasadena, so staying at the venue is simplest. For Lash Boss Summit, downtown Austin hotels are within walking distance of the convention center. For NYC Lash Elite, you can stay in Jersey City or in Manhattan and cross on the PATH.

• Ask brands about adhesive performance in different climates, as it is a popular topic.
• Use the business sessions to plan pricing, retention and growth.
