NAIL CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Nail Tech Event of the Smokies

Nail techs can customize their experience to fit their budget by adding 1, 2 or 3 days of Nail Classes & Workshops at the Smokies Nail Show!

*

Registration payment for any of the 3 extra days of optional Workshops is made directly to each company listed below & is not included with the show ticket.

*

FRIDAY: Extended Workshops
SATURDAY: Workshops & Early Check-in
SUNDAY: Nail Show + Event Day Classes
MONDAY: Workshops

The Workshops

Certificates from these optional Workshops may meet the criteria for North Carolina CEU's providing they have the following printed on them:

1) course title & description
2) date conducted
3) address of location where course was conducted
4) continuing education hours earned

The licensee shall maintain records of attendance at a continuing education course & is responsible for providing proper documentation to the NC State Board of Cosmetology within the required time frame.

Consequently techs should ask their own State Board to verify IF these certificates will count towards CEU's, otherwise we cannot guarantee that they will be accepted.

Smokies Nail Show: Sunday, July 14th, 2024

THIS IS A 1-DAY NAIL SHOW HELD ONLY ON SUNDAY. 

*Event Day Classes held during the show are included with your show ticket

The optional Workshops are held on Friday, Saturday & Monday.

*Workshops are NOT included with show ticket & cost is separate; register & pay directly with each company holding a Workshop

Extended Workshops: Friday, July 12th, 2024

These Extended Workshops are held at the Gatlinburg Convention Center & are offered to extend the show weekend by expanding your educational experience.

*

Any classes held offsite the week before or after our show weekend are piggybacking & if caught will be banned from future Smokies Nail Show participation. Please do not support this sneaky & unethical behavior as it harms all legitimate companies.
