BELLAMI has announced the return of its highly anticipated BELLAMI Showcase in Las Vegas, scheduled from September 29th to October 1st, 2024. This event is significant for industry professionals, offering a platform for creative inspiration and advanced education in hair extensions. Notably, THE BELLAMIs, the only awards dedicated to artistic and technical merit in the hair extension industry, will also be part of the event.
Mary Burns, President of BELLAMI, emphasized the importance of the event, stating, "We are excited to bring back an event that celebrates the artistry and innovation within the hair extensions industry. It is a unique platform for stylists and extension artists to connect and learn from each other." The showcase will highlight BELLAMI's diverse range of Advanced Education offerings for 2025 and introduce new innovations aimed at a broader, more inclusive audience.
Taking place at The Palms Hotel, Las Vegas, the three-day event will feature mainstage presentations, business panels, advanced hands-on classes, and networking events. Presenters include renowned stylists such as Eric Vaughn, Senada Ceka, Justin Toves-Vincilione, Andrew Fitzsimons, Anna Manukyan, and Sabrina Bias. Carlos Rojas will serve as the Master of Ceremony, and Jessica Iozzo and Caitlin Meehan will participate in the business panel.
The event promises dynamic mainstage presentations and business panels accessible to all attendees, featuring visuals on cutting-edge styling techniques and discussions on trending topics within the extension business industry. Advanced 'Look & Learn' classes will delve deeper into these subjects and are available with an additional ticket purchase, allowing attendees to take up to three courses at a discounted rate.
The 'Look & Learn' classes serve as a pilot for a comprehensive educational series in 2025, aiming to re-engage over 20,000 stylists who have participated in past BELLAMI Master Classes. These classes will also attract a broader audience eager to enhance their skills in specific niches within the extensions industry.
Classes will cover various topics, such as Mastering Extension Methods with Eric Vaughn, Bridal Hair & Ultimate Bridal Styling with Senada Ceka, and Cutting Techniques with Justin Toves-Vincilione. Attendees will benefit from the personal interaction with industry leaders in an intimate setting, providing a unique opportunity to experience new educational content before it becomes part of the Bellami Academy Advanced Education curriculum in 2025.
THE BELLAMIs Awards will be held on September 30th, 2024, recognizing excellence in categories such as Best Transformation Before/After Photo, Best Transformation 1-min Video, and Best Editorial Look.
