This October, Professional Beauty London returns to Excel London with a renewed focus on supporting the people who keep our industry going.
The beauty and wellness sectors continue to face increasing pressures, from rising operating costs and business rates to changes in employment taxes. Despite these challenges, salons, spas and clinics remain at the heart of communities across the UK. They create local jobs, bring people to our high streets and provide spaces where clients can connect, relax and invest in their wellbeing.
That's why the theme for Professional Beauty London 2026 is "At the Heart of Your Community."
Taking place on 4 - 5 October at Excel London, alongside Salon International, this year's event is designed to provide practical business support, fresh ideas and valuable opportunities to connect with the wider industry.
Practical support for your business
Across the show floor, visitors will find new resources designed to help businesses navigate today's challenges and prepare for tomorrow's opportunities.
- Business support rountables
Be part of open, interactive discussions with industry experts and fellow salon owners as we tackle the biggest challenges facing the sector today. From rising operating costs and employment changes to marketing, profitability and business growth, these roundtable sessions are designed to encourage honest conversations, practical advice and shared solutions from people who understand your business.
- Discover the opportunities in longevity
Education across the Professional Beauty stages will place a spotlight on the growing longevity economy. Learn how longevity-focused treatments, advanced services and wellness offerings can help diversify your business, increase revenue and build long-term client loyalty.
- Professional Beauty Stage and The Skin & Advanced Treatment Stage
Across two days, our live stages showcase expert demonstrations, trend forecasting, innovative techniques and business insights you can put into practice. Every business is different. Discover what’s next for yours on our live stages.
- Business Services
At Professional Beauty London, you’ll find a wide range of business service providers who help with the day-to-day running of your business, including booking systems, payments, insurance, finance, marketing, recruitment and business support.
It’s a great opportunity to save money because you can compare multiple suppliers in one place, access exclusive show-only deals and often negotiate better pricing face-to-face. You can also meet your current suppliers, review your contracts and see how they can offer more support or better value.
With so many options under one roof, the show makes it easier to find the right services at the best price without the usual time and research cost.
