Arizona Tribune - Premiere Columbus 2025 Delivers Education, Inspiration, and New Experiences for Midwest Beauty Pros

Education That Inspires

Attendees explored more than 148 educational sessions led by 80+ top educators and influencers. From hands-on workshops to business development classes, Premiere Columbus gave beauty professionals the tools to advance their careers and expand their craft. Main Stage presentations from Wayne Tuggle, Candy Shaw, Kell Grace, Danny Amorim, and Kirsty Meakin energized audiences, while CE-certified courses from Monique Waters of Wu Aesthetics Academy and Jaime Schrabeck of Precision Nails allowed licensed professionals to meet continuing education requirements.

"I truly think Premiere Columbus is a major event for our city," said Zhana, a cosmetology student from Ohio. "You get to discover so many new products, meet brands, attend classes, connect with people - everything is super interesting. I felt like I learned so much, yet at the same time, I didn't get to see everything. It was such a great experience!"

Competitions Showcase Skill and Creativity

Adding to the show's high-energy atmosphere, the Ultimate Barber Battle powered by L3VEL3 and sponsored by JRL took over the Main Stage on Monday. Barbers from across the region competed in a live showdown celebrating creativity, precision, and technical mastery-drawing enthusiastic crowds and spotlighting the next generation of barbering talent. Antoine Lewis Hardie earned first place, with every competitor gaining visibility and high-value tools to enhance their craft.

A Dynamic Exhibit Floor

The exhibit hall featured 129 professional beauty brands, offering product demos, hands-on learning, and event-only promotions. Attendees engaged directly with brands including Chi by Farouk, Wahl, JRL, Malibu C, Johnny B, Kell Grace, Duomo Pro, Boulevard, Glownar Aesthetics, Hale Cosmeceuticals, Procell, Fierce Hair Extensions, Rude Cosmetics, LeChat, Izutech, and Martini Beauty, discovering new products and solutions for their businesses.

New Experiences Bring Energy and Connection

Premiere Columbus enhanced the attendee experience with several fresh activations. Each morning, DJ KICKIT welcomed attendees with high-energy beats in the Atrium Lobby. Interactive photo ops across the show floor and lobby encouraged professionals to capture and share the weekend's excitement.

Attendees also visited The Branded Salon booth for exclusive Premiere Columbus swag and custom merchandise, while Monday morning's Sample Bag Giveaway treated the first 250 attendees to product-filled bags from top brands-including Duomo Pro, Chi by Farouk, Oli G, Izutech, Rude, Jack Winn Pro, Hale Cosmeceuticals, Modologie Face Systems, TOWELHUB/The Shears Depot, LeChat, PureO Natural Products, and Martini Beauty-claimed within minutes and generating major buzz.
