Beloved hair extensions brand BELLAMI is bringing back the BELLAMI Showcase in Las Vegas from September 29th to October 1st 2024. This one-of-a-kind event invites hair stylists and extension artists from around the world to experience creative inspiration and cutting-edge education. BELLAMI will also honor standout stylists through THE BELLAMIs, the hair extension industry’s only awards for artistic and technical merit.
The three-day event takes place at the iconic Palms Hotel, and encompasses informative mainstage presentations, business panels, advanced hands-on classes and networking events including a celebratory party.

Jessica Iozzo and Caitlin Meehan will also join the business panel to share their experiences building successful businesses out of hair extensions.
“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,” says BELLAMI President Mary Burns. “We are the only extension company to host an event this large and this year’s showcase will be the first glimpse into our inclusive range of Advanced Education offerings for 2025 and provide a sneak peek into several new innovations including a collection that will expand our offerings to a broader, more inclusive audience.”
The dynamic mainstage presentations and business panels, accessible to all General Admission and VIP guests, will encompass stimulating visuals on styling techniques, personal journeys from some of our most successful partners, and illuminating discussions on trending topics within the extension business.
