Nail Tech Event of the Smokies

If you are looking for a nails only event, this is the one to attend! Where else can you have access to over 60 nail vendors and 30+ classes all in one place? This was my 11th year attending this event and I'll continue going as long as I'm able. If you are on the fence, just do it! Purchasing a VIP ticket is the way to go because you get a huge swag bag and get to shop the vendors an hour before other ticket holders. I highly recommend this event. You'll meet other nail techs that will be friends for life. And there's so many things to do in Gatlinburg with your nail friends! Hope to see everyone next year!

I had a fantastic time. This was my second year of attending the event.. I enjoyed meeting other Nail Techs. It's was a fabulous show.

I was originally off to attend Briggs Farm Blues Festival and decided to go the Nail Tech Event of The Smokies. I have some newer, younger clients who appreciate nail art and since most of my clients are around my age and conservative in their appearance, I was rusty. I decided to take classes and see what this was about. The drive and location is breathtaking. I was so impressed by the quality of vendors as well as education. I will probably never attend an all inclusive trade show again, when I can invest in better education, professional products and meet other Nail Artists with a passion like myself. I was only sorry that I had only a few days to visit as it was too short. The accommodations were surrounded by a spectacular view and in walking distance to the convention center, shops, breweries, distilleries and some great local restaurants. If you attend one trade show this year I recommend this one. Jill works extremely hard to make this an exceptional experience. Oh, and I forgot to mention the swag bag, lots of free goodie’s.

The absolute BEST Nail show. I made so many new friends and business contacts. Education opportunities are plentiful and the organization is like a well oiled machine. Was able to ask questions throughout the year about upcoming events at the show and received quick responses. I will attend every year at VIP status!

If you are a new nail tech, a long-time nail tech, student or anything in between, this show is a MUST! With all the nail vendors, free classes, paid classes, you can't go wrong. I've been attending this show for last 8-9 years and I have learned so much and made some AMAZING life-long friends along the way. It's a great way to stock up on products without having to pay shipping as well. Don't wait! Get your ticket as soon as they go on sale!
