Skincare and Esthetics Events in Dallas

Dallas is a key city for skin professionals in the southern United States, with two trade events that focus squarely on skincare, esthetics and aesthetic treatments.

ICES Dallas is held each April at the Hilton Anatole. It brings estheticians, skin therapists and spa professionals together for conferences, education and a trade show, covering skincare, beauty, spa and aesthetics. It is a practical event for anyone who wants to refresh their treatment skills and discover new products for the treatment room. Each August, Aesthetic Next takes place at the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center, between Dallas and Fort Worth, with several days of education, conferences, business sessions and a trade show for aesthetics and skincare professionals. Both are trade only, so the focus stays on professional learning. Dallas is easy to reach from across the country, which helps both events draw visitors from far and wide.

Both events are listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can plan your next skincare trip to Dallas.

Getting there

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport sits between the two cities and is a major hub, while Dallas Love Field is closer to central Dallas. The Hilton Anatole is in the Design District, just north west of downtown Dallas, and is easiest to reach by taxi or rideshare. The Loews Arlington is in Arlington's entertainment district, roughly between Dallas and Fort Worth.

Where to stay

The Hilton Anatole is a very large hotel, so staying on site for ICES Dallas keeps everything simple. For Aesthetic Next, the Loews Arlington is part of the convention center, and there are more hotels in the entertainment district around it.

Tips for Dallas skincare events

• Both events are trade only, so bring your licence or proof of your profession.
• Book classes early, as hands on sessions are often the first to fill.
• Texas summers are hot, so plan for the heat if you attend Aesthetic Next in August.
• Bring a notebook. Both events are packed with treatment and product ideas.
