Premiere Columbus returns October 11-12, 2026, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center with two days of professional beauty education, exhibitors and show-floor discovery spanning multiple beauty categories.
For Estheticians, the value is in the crossover. Premiere is broader than skincare alone, but the show includes spa and wellness, skincare, lashes, brows and other professional categories alongside hair, nails and barbering. Show passes include two days of complimentary education and access to the exhibit floor; workshops and competitions are sold separately.
The event is also structured for professionals and students, making it one of the larger regional opportunities for working beauty professionals to learn, shop and compare what is entering the professional market.
The NBEW Lens
For NBEW readers, some of Premiere Columbus’s most relevant education will be where skincare, spa and wellness intersect with the realities of treating a broad range of complexions.
Pigmentation, acne, sensitivity, peel selection and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are not niche concerns for many Estheticians. They are everyday treatment-room considerations, particularly for professionals serving Fitzpatrick IV–VI clients.
The real value is in education that goes beyond naming a technique or ingredient and explains how treatment choices, devices and protocols may need to shift across different skin responses and client needs.
Premiere’s broader beauty footprint also makes it useful for seeing how Esthetics is moving alongside brows, lashes, waxing, wellness and business development rather than operating in isolation.
NBEW Note
Premiere offers professional and student pricing tiers, plus a special instructor bundle that includes 10 students and one complimentary instructor. The official pricing page says rates increase across three pricing tiers, so earlier registration is the better value.
Who Should Know About It
- licensed Estheticians
