Beauty Meets Business in Florida – Beauty Weekends 2026

Beauty professionals from across the country will soon be heading to South Florida for the latest Beauty Weekends expo, an educational and networking event designed with women in the beauty and barbering industries in mind.

Taking place in Fort Lauderdale over September 25 – 27, the event combines business development, technical education, and community-building to help attendees grow personally and professionally.

Hosted by The Beauty Weekends, the event will feature hands-on classes, industry experts, and opportunities for barbers, stylists, entrepreneurs, and beauty professionals to expand their skill sets and strengthen their businesses.

Among the featured educators will be three accomplished female barbers, bringing decades of their expertise and specialized knowledge to the stage.

Building Wealth Beyond the Chair

Lici Lady Barber will present a financial empowerment class focused on helping beauty professionals create long-term wealth through financial planning and tax education.

“I’ll be teaching how to build wealth using the tax code,” said Lici. “We’re going to dive into financial structure and how we can become better overall in the industry.”

Her session aims to provide practical tools to better understand finances, maximize opportunities available to business owners, and establish a stronger foundation for future success.

Unlocking New Services with Hair Units

Osiris Pastor, known professionally as Barber Boss Lady, will share her expertise in hair unit care, installation, and maintenance – one of the fastest-growing service categories in the industry.

With thinning hair and baldness becoming increasingly common, Osiris believes beauty professionals have an opportunity to offer life-changing solutions while growing their businesses.

“I want every barber and stylist to learn how to do this because you’re going to elevate your services,” she said. “You’re going to help a lot of people who are dealing with thinning and baldness, and you’ll be able to provide a real solution to a growing problem.”

Mastering the Shift from Fades to Shears

Veteran barber Corina Lady Barber will bring her more than 30 years of experience to an educational session focused on transitioning from traditional fade work into advanced shear techniques. As trends continue to evolve, many barbers are finding that clients increasingly seek textured, longer styles that require strong scissor skills.

“The industry is moving into more shear work,” Corina explained. “A lot of barbers are struggling with that transition. I want to share my 30 years of knowledge and show you how to make life easier behind the chair.”

Her class is designed to help professionals gain confidence and precision while adapting to the changing demands of today’s clients.

More Than an Event

Beauty Weekender is more than a weekend of classes – it’s a platform for connection, education, and empowerment. While the event was intentionally created to support women in the beauty and barbering industries, it welcomes anyone committed to growth, learning, and advancing their career.

From business-building strategies and financial literacy to cutting-edge technical skills, attendees will leave with actionable knowledge they can immediately apply to their craft and businesses.

For beauty professionals looking to sharpen their skills, expand their services, and connect with a supportive community of industry leaders, Beauty Weekender promises to be one of the most impactful events of the year.
