NAIL CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Nail techs can choose up to 3 extra days of nail classes & Workshops to fit their budget at the Smokies Nail Show!
Friday – Extended Workshops
Saturday – Workshops & Early Check-in
Sunday – Nail Show + Event Day Classes
Monday – Workshops
.
*Workshop fees are paid directly to each company & are not included with the show ticket.
.
**Please make other appropriate childcare arrangements as no children, infants nor babies are permitted in classrooms.
The Workshops
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 and 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.
.
Each workshop listing includes company emails so you can ask if their class is CEU-approved for your state.
Smokies Nail Show: Sunday, July 13th, 2025
The Smokies Nail Show is a one-day event on Sunday.
Event Day Classes during the show are included with your ticket.
Optional paid Workshops take place on Friday, Saturday & Monday.
Workshops are not included with your show ticket; register for Workshops below & pay directly with the hosting company.
Extended Workshops: Friday, July 11th, 2025
Extended Workshops at the Gatlinburg TN Convention Center offer extra education 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 these unauthorized classes hurts legitimate companies & the show—please choose official Workshops only.
