Behind the Scenes: My Exciting Visits to Professional Beauty Manchester & Salon International London 

By Nina Nicholson, Lecenté Lead Educator – North 

Over the past few weeks, I had the pleasure of attending two amazing events: Professional Beauty Manchester and Salon International London, all in my role as a Lead Educator for Lecenté. These events were not just opportunities for professional growth but were also filled with unforgettable moments I’d love to share with you! 

A Truly Electric Atmosphere 

From the moment I arrived at both venues, the energy was electric. There’s an undeniable buzz in the air at these shows, and I couldn’t wait to dive into everything they had to offer. Trade shows like these are a celebration of our industry, showcasing the latest trends and innovations, but they are so much more than that. 

Face-to-Face Connections Make It Special 

One of my favourite aspects of attending trade shows is the chance to meet people face-to-face. In a world dominated by digital communication, there’s something truly magical about connecting in person—sharing smiles, exchanging ideas, and feeling the collective passion that unites us all in the nail industry. Whether I was catching up with familiar faces or meeting new attendees, these interactions reminded me just how inspiring and supportive our community is. 

The Buzz at the Lecenté Stand 

Our Lecenté stand was a constant hub of excitement, and I loved every moment spent there. We were bustling with energy, and I loved being in the thick of it! The laughter, the banter, and the pure enthusiasm was incredible. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many passionate individuals who share a love for what we do. The feedback we received on our products and demonstrations was incredibly uplifting, reaffirming our mission to empower nail professionals. 

Games & Prizes: A Highlight of the Show 

Of course, I can’t talk about the shows without mentioning the insane excitement surrounding our ‘Spin the Wheel’ game! Attendees went absolutely crazy for it, and watching so many of you win fantastic Lecenté goodies was a joy. But the fun didn’t stop there! Our ‘Lucky Dip’ was another massive hit – our giant Lecenté Create gel polish bottle filled to the brim with surprise treats—the looks of excitement on everyone’s faces as they reached in for a prize were priceless!  

Working with the HQ Lecenté Team 

Another highlight was working alongside the incredible HQ Lecenté team. There’s something truly special about being part of a group that collaborates seamlessly, sharing laughs and supporting one another amidst the delightful chaos of a busy show. The camaraderie and shared passion at our stand filled me with pride, and it made the experience even more enjoyable. 

A Heartfelt Thank You 

To everyone who visited us at either or both shows—thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your support and enthusiasm are what make events like these so memorable. Whether you stopped by for a demo, spun the wheel, or simply came by to chat, you played a vital role in making this experience unforgettable.  

As we look ahead, I can’t wait for the next opportunity to engage with all of you. In the meantime, keep that passion alive, continue experimenting with your Lecenté products, and remember—there’s always more fun just around the corner! 

 See you soon!
