Las Vegas Hair & Nail Conference a Huge Success
There was something for everyone at this year's Las Vegas Hair & Nail Conference: stellar MainStage hair presentations, business-building sessions, cutting-edge hair and nail workshops, and exciting hair and nail competitions. More than 14,000 beauty pros turned out for the IBS New York- and American Salon-sponsored event, which was staged at the Las Vegas Convention Center in June.

Business was brisk on the show floor, where attendees got the chance to shop, network and receive in-booth education, which was offered by some of the more than 300-plus exhibiting companies, including American Crew, Conair, Creative Nail Design, OPI and Rusk. Meanwhile, there was nonstop action in classrooms, where topics ranging from custom-blended manicures, nail art, hot-stone manicures and pedicures and hand-renewal treatments were covered. Classes were also taught in making money with hair extensions, marketing to men, long hair design techniques and The Karg Dry Hair Cut.
