Nail Expos in Poland

Poland is one of Europe's great nail nations, with a large, creative community of nail technicians and a thriving nail products industry, so its nail events are well worth the trip.

Nailpro Europe Poland is the dedicated nail event, usually held in Warsaw in September, with competitions and awards that showcase some of the strongest nail work in the region. The public is welcome, so it is a great place to see technique up close. Nails also take a big share of the trade floor at the country's larger shows. LOOK and beautyVISION in Poznań each April combines nail brands with competitions and education, Beauty Days at Ptak Warsaw Expo each September is open to the public with competitions and conferences, and Beauty Forum and Hair at Warszawskie Centrum EXPO XXI a week later adds more education and shopping.

Every nail expo in Poland is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can plan your nail year.

Nail techs in Poland: when to go

September is the standout month. Nailpro Europe Poland usually runs each September in Warsaw with its nail competitions and awards, while Beauty Days and Beauty Forum and Hair bring nail brands and education to the capital around the same time. For a spring trip, LOOK and beautyVISION in Poznań includes nails among its many categories.

Getting to the nail floors

• Beauty Days takes place at Ptak Warsaw Expo, outside Warsaw at Nadarzyn, so plan a taxi or car.
• Beauty Forum and Hair is at EXPO XXI in Wola, an easy ride from central hotels.
• Check the Nailpro Europe Poland listing for its venue before you book a room.
• In Poznań, walk from the main station straight to the fairground.
