ABOUT HEBS
WHO WE ARE
“Hair Education Beauty Summit is where education, creativity, and opportunity come together to elevate the next generation of beauty professionals.”
More than a trade show, HEBS is an immersive experience designed to inspire growth, sharpen skills, and connect artists, educators, students, beauty brands, and industry leaders from across the beauty community.
Created to bridge the gap between artistry and opportunity, HEBS brings together elite educators, emerging talent, innovative brands, and forward thinking professionals for an unforgettable experience centered around learning, collaboration, and excellence.
From barbering and braiding to makeup artistry, skincare, nails, fashion, and protective styling, HEBS delivers hands-on education, live stage presentations, competitions, business development, and networking opportunities that empower attendees to grow both personally and professionally.

We believe education should be transformative. Every class, demonstration, competition, and interaction is designed to provide real-world knowledge, practical techniques, and actionable strategies that attendees can immediately apply behind the chair, in the classroom, or within their business.
At HEBS, we celebrate artistry, embrace innovation, and cultivate a community where beauty professionals don’t just learn—they connect, collaborate, create, and build the future of the industry together.
