Many years ago (late '80's) the 2 trade shows were at Olympia and Brighton. About 5% of the stands were nails. This started growing slowly. Around the same time a 'nails only' mini show was held in a hotel in Earls Court called the Nail Advantage. This has as many as, ooh, probably around 8 stands and held 1 competition during its 1 day duration. This stopped as nails grew bigger at the main shows.
Nails at the beauty shows grew and grew until eventually there was an opportunity for a nail show. Many people thought it wouldn't work because nails wasn't a 'real industry'. But it did and grew. For years nails was a small bit of beauty (and the beauty people looked down on us) now it had it's own show!
I have just got my entry ticket to Prof Nails and, low and behold,what is on the back??!! Beauty seminars and workshops! I haven't seen a stand listing so I must assume beauty stands are there too.
So beauty is now a small bit of nails
