About Nail Trade Shows
Nail trade shows are where buying decisions get made. Salon owners and technicians come to test new gels, powders, tools and furniture, compare brands side by side and pick up show offers they will not find online.
For 2027 the choice is wide. Specialist nail fairs give a focused shopping trip, from Niche Nail Network in Solihull in April to the Nail Tech Event of the Smokies in July, the Heartland Nail Expo in August and the Utah Nail Expo in September. For scale, the large beauty fairs are hard to beat: Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna in March, America's Beauty Show in Chicago in April, China Beauty Expo in Shanghai in May, Cosmoprof North America Las Vegas in July and Professional Beauty London in October. In Asia, Beautyworld Japan in Tokyo, Cosmoprof Asia in Hong Kong and Japan Nail Expo all give nail brands a big stage.
Every nail trade show and fair is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can plan your buying trips for the year.

Plan your trip
Planning your buying year
Look at when your salon needs fresh stock and new services. Early year fairs in Paris, Antwerp and Bologna are ideal for planning spring and summer launches, while autumn shows in London and Asia help you prepare for the festive season.
Choosing the right fair
- For brand choice: international fairs such as Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna and China Beauty Expo gather manufacturers and distributors from many countries.
- For salon shopping: regional shows like the Utah Nail Expo and the Heartland Nail Expo are easy to walk round in a day.
- For the newest trends: Japan Nail Expo and Beautyworld Japan are well known for creative nail art and fresh product ideas.
- For learning while you buy: many fairs run demos on their stands, so you can see a product in action before you order.
Shopping smart abroad
Check shipping and import rules before ordering large amounts at an overseas fair, and ask brands whether show offers can be delivered after you return home. Bring business cards, a budget and a shopping list so you can make the most of your time on the floor.
