Nail Tradeshow and Retreats Schedule 2025

Update: 2026 Tradeshow List

https://southernlysweetnails.com/nail-tradeshow-and-retreats-schedule-2025-2/

Hey Boobear! I have compiled an absolute full list of all nail tradeshow and retreats with nail tech involvement into one list that you all can refer to. This list however is not complete, but it is fully current. What I mean by that is, it’s updated based on what’s currently posted. If a brand, show, or person has not posted their 2025 future plans, it will not be here until they do so. 

I have taken the time to keep it all in chronological order so that you can plan your year accordingly. There are some things I could not include such as pricing, because that varies on the day you choose to purchase a ticket or VIP experience. However, I have included the full address of the venue each will be held at, except for ones yet to be posted, as mentioned earlier.

Lastly, be sure to look up the information for each event on how to attend, and who all is eligible such as students versus fully licensed technicians. An event might be exclusive to a category of nail technicians. Be sure to bookmark this page for your future reference as it will be updated throughout the year, with new events added, show dates changing, and many more.
