If you are a hair stylist or other professional in the beauty industry, then this is THE trade show to see.

The American Beauty Show, also known as The Midwest Beauty Show, is the biggest and the best that we have to offer in the United States.

There will be over 400 exhibitors, and the trade show will be attended by approximately 60,000 industry professionals.

The trade show is owned and operated by Cosmetologists Chicago, and has been operating the show for over 80 years.

The trade show runs March 3rd to March 5th, 2012. Admission tickets range from $30.00 to $375.00, depending on choices and duration.

You will find all of the information you want at the above link. Remember, purchasing tickets in advance will save you money over gate tickets. Download a Registration Form.

* Attendance is restricted to beauty industry professionals, and is not open to the public.

I have been to this trade show many times, and I have never been disappointed. I have not though been there since the show moved from the Rosemont Covention Center to it’s new location at McCormick Place, downtown Chicago.

It is my understanding that the Rosemont Center could simply no longer facilitate the growing show. Thus, my usual recommendation to stay at the adjacent Hyatt, is no longer a real option.

That said, the show is held in one of the greatest cities in the world, and just a stones throw from Conrad Hilton’s spectacular Palmer House. To stay anywhere else for this show is to me an insane notion.

Press: If you are a member of the industry press, your contact is: Kate@ViNelson.com. If you are a member of the consumer press, your contact is: dori@doriwilsonpr.com.

When we were still known as Hair News Magazine, I had to collaborate with Vi Nelson PR several years in a row. They simply could not have been more accommodating or professional. Always a positive experience.

Enjoy the show. Perhaps I’ll see you there.
