2008 NY International Beauty Show & Esthetics, Cosmetics & Spa Conference

May 5 , 2008 - Article and Photos by Len Rapoport

IPA tries to cover many of the leading New York events, trade and consumer shows for IPA. "Trade Shows" offer photographers and journalists an opportunity to go out on assignments, interview people at the shows, gather information and ultimately publish their article or photos. So it becomes a great way to learn and hone ones skills.

Their are a few favorite trade shows that we love to cover. The IBS show combined with the International Esthetics, Cosmetics and Spa Conference is always a great show and it is huge. Many thousands of industry professionals gather to see the pretty people at this show and learn the techniques to make their clients beautiful too. At these shows you get to see all the latest treatments and techniques and see what is hot and what is not, in the beauty and esthetics industry.

At this show you want to get an early start as we did. It takes many hours to see all the new treatments available at the Esthetics portion of the show and we had an opportunity to actually receive some very interesting treatments including skin growths, bumps and moles and have our staffs teeth whitened.
