Classes & Workshops
NAIL CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
The Workshops
Nail techs can enjoy up to 3 extra days of optional hands-on or seminar Workshops to fit their budget at the Smokies Nail Show!
Friday – Extended Workshops
Saturday – Workshops & Early Check-in
Sunday – Nail Show (tickets include 9 Event Day Classes)
Monday – Workshops
.
Workshop fees are paid directly to each company & are not included with show tickets. Please make other appropriate childcare arrangements as absolutely no children, infants nor babies are permitted in classrooms.
.
Workshop certificates may count for North Carolina CEUs if they include:
*Course title & description
*Date of class
*Workshop location address
*CEU hours earned
.
Techs must keep their own records & submit proof to the NC State Board on time. Check with your own State Board to see if these certificates qualify & we cannot guarantee approval. Send questions directly to each company at their provided email addresses below to see if their class is CEU-approved for your state.
Extended Workshops: Friday, July 10th, 2026
Extended Workshops at the Gatlinburg TN Convention Center offer extra education on Friday to "extend" your show experience!
.
Any classes held offsite before or after the show weekend in the Smoky Mountain area are piggybacking & will result in a ban for those companies involved. Supporting unauthorized classes harms legitimate companies & the show, so please choose official Workshops only.
