What you get
What is on the floor
Two days built around the techniques, brands, and people you came for.
Live nail-art stages
Top artists working full sets in real time — chrome, hand-painted detail, and structured builds you can follow step by step.
Lash & brow workshops
Small-group, hands-on sessions on mapping, volume fans, lamination, and retention — bring your kit and practice on the floor.
Skincare masterclasses
Estheticians and dermal experts on facials, chemical peels, dermaplaning, and building treatment plans that actually retain clients.
Hair & styling demos
Cutting, color, and editorial styling on the mainstage — color theory, balayage technique, and finishing that photographs well.
Brand expo hall
120+ brands with launches, show-only pricing, and reps on hand — restock your station and try tools before you buy.
Networking mixers
Owner roundtables, artist meetups, and an after-hours party built so the right people end up in the same room.

Kind words
From past attendees
I picked up two structured-gel techniques on the live stage and was using them on clients the next week. Worth every minute.
The owner roundtables paid for my pass ten times over. I left with a retention plan and three suppliers I now order from.
As a student this was the fastest way to see where the industry is headed. I met educators I still keep in touch with.
Before you visit
Good to know
What passes are there, and what is the refund policy?
Single-day and two-day passes are available, both including expo hall access and most stage programming; workshops are added on. Full refunds are available through September 30, after which passes are transferable to another attendee at no charge.
Who should attend Glow Con?
Working pros across nails, lashes, brows, skin, and hair, salon and spa owners, students and educators, and serious enthusiasts. The workshops assume some hands-on experience, but the expo and stages are open to everyone.
Do the sessions count for continuing-education credit?
Select masterclasses and workshops are eligible for CE credit in participating states. Look for the CE badge on a session in the agenda, scan in at the door, and we email your certificate within a week of the show.
How do vendor booths work?
Brands can apply for booth space in the expo hall, with corner, island, and stage-adjacent options. Booths include badges, listing in the show app, and load-in support — email us for the exhibitor kit and current floor plan.
Are there travel and hotel recommendations?
The venue sits on the Las Vegas Strip with discounted room blocks at three nearby hotels within walking distance. Booking links are emailed with your confirmation and rooms go fast, so reserve early.
