IBS New York
et’s set the mood. It’s cold and cloudy in New
York on Monday, March 5th walking up to the
Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, but that
was far from noticeable with men and women
carrying bags on bags full of products, beaming faces,
colorful hair and big smiles. That was the tone of the
International Beauty Show and walking into the show
left our eyes big and our wallet even smaller knowing
all the money we were going to spend that day.
Don’t quite know what the International Beauty Show
is? IBS is one of the biggest beauty and hair events of
the season with all the chemical and tool companies
showing their latest and greatest products. Big booths
filled the entrances while little, but promising booths
nestle in the back. Four stages centered the room
with Conair previewing four of its brands with live-
staged runway shows and styling. In the back, an even
bigger stage was featured with dramatic runway shows
featuring hair styled by high-profile stylists.
With the three days IBS is held, our staff was all in
agreeance that all three days were needed to review
each booth. The show is amazing for stylists looking
