Face & Body and the Nailpro Nail show are back and better than ever! Registration for Face & Body Northern California Spa Conference & Expo, to be held August 20–21, 2023 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, California, is open.
This year's theme, Beauty in Nature, celebrates the great gifts that nature provides the beauty industry. Not only does it serve as an inspiration to many skin, nail and wellness services, but it gives beauty professionals a rich color palette and a boundless collection of raw materials to make our products truly shine.
The show's new location also ties beautifully into our theme for this year. Sacramento is such a nature hub that it was nicknamed “The City of Trees.” Beauty in Nature is celebrating the beautiful world we get to call home. We are celebrating the great gifts that nature provides us and how we can utilize those gifts in the treatment room and skin care. Not to mention, how we can preserve these gifts through sustainable practices in the spa.
We've collected all of the advanced education and product knowledge courses available for continuing education credits that pay tribute to our Beauty in Nature theme, and we're sharing them with you!
