LASHCON is bringing its award winning education experience to Premiere San Antonio on August 30 and 31, 2026, and the lineup is built for lash artists ready to grow, evolve, and step into the next era of the industry.

Meet the 15 lash artists named LASHCON Star Search 2026 finalists and see who will compete live in San Diego for a featured speaker spot at LASHCON 2027.

Have something the lash industry needs to hear? Star Search is back for LASHCON 2026, giving fresh voices, powerful ideas, and future industry speakers the opportunity to step onto the main stage. Last year, the response was incredible. So many talented lash artists wanted their moment on the mic that we could not fit everyone into the schedule.  This year, we are changing the process so every selected speaker receives the time and attention their idea deserves.

The moment we have all been waiting for is here. We are proud to officially announce the finalists for the 2026 LASHIE Awards.

The Lashie Awards 2026 recognize the top lash artists, salons, educators, and brands based on real results, strategy, and innovation—not popularity.

This is not just a tagline. It is a reflection of where our industry is, where business is, and where so many lash artists and beauty entrepreneurs find themselves right now.

To celebrate our 8th anniversary, we’re doing something we’ve wanted to do for a very long time. We’re officially launching the very first LASHCON Scholarship Program.

Discover why top lash and beauty brands choose LASHCON to connect with artists, build trust, and grow long term visibility in the lash industry.

Learn why business development conferences are essential for lash artists who want sustainable income, smarter systems, and long term career growth.
