Industry leaders, educators and beauty professionals to come together for a day of business insight, live education, networking and Abu Dhabi's first Lash Championship.
Professional Beauty Abu Dhabi has unveiled the full programme for its highly anticipated 2026 show, taking place on 14th September at the InterContinental Abu Dhabi, bringing together beauty, hair, spa, aesthetics and wellness professionals from across the UAE and wider GCC for a full day of education, networking, competitions and business insight.
Following the success of the inaugural Professional Beauty GCC Business Summit earlier this year, TishTash Communications will continue its partnership with Professional Beauty as the event's strategic communications partner, supporting industry engagement and helping amplify the conversations shaping the future of the region's beauty and wellness industry.
Designed to support professionals at every stage of their careers, the event offers a unique opportunity to discover emerging trends, hear from leading industry experts, experience the latest innovations, and connect with brands, suppliers, and peers from across the sector.
The 2026 programme features an expanded education agenda across the Main Stage, alongside live demonstrations, networking opportunities and the return of the exhibition showcasing leading local and international brands spanning professional skincare, haircare, aesthetics, nails, spa, wellness and beauty technology.
Throughout the day, visitors will hear from respected business leaders, educators and industry experts discussing the topics currently shaping the industry. Sessions will explore business growth, marketing, artificial intelligence, consumer behaviour, leadership, aesthetics, wellness and the future of professional beauty, while live demonstrations will provide practical education across skincare, hair, makeup and advanced treatment techniques.
One of the event's headline attractions will be Abu Dhabi's first-ever Lash Championship, bringing together talented lash artists from across the region to compete live before an expert judging panel. The competition celebrates technical excellence, creativity and artistry while recognising the growing standard of lash professionals across the Middle East.
Commenting on the event, Andy Green, General Manager of Professional Beauty GCC, said:
"Professional Beauty Abu Dhabi has been created to bring the industry together in one place to learn, connect and grow. This year's programme reflects the incredible pace at which our industry is evolving, with discussions covering everything from business strategy and innovation to emerging technologies and consumer trends.
