• What is The Educational Summit

    The Educational Summit is an event that is held each year in different cities around the country. It is an opportunity for Cosmetology Educators to come together and network with other Cosmetology educators. The Educational Summit consists of educational pre-conferences, post-conference, general sessions, and break-out sessions that are presented to help the educator better their teaching skills and take those new ideas back to the classroom. It also gives attendees the chance to visit the trade show where exhibitors will give you face-to-face information regarding their products. Visit The Educational Summit section of this website to find out more information.

  • I have a product that I would like to exhibit at the 2025 Educational Summit . How do I do that?

    Cosmetology Instructors Network welcomes any exhibitor who wishes to exhibit their product at the yearly Educational Summit. What is important to know is that space at our Educational Summit will give you access to Cosmetology educators who are not only influential to the thousands of students that they instruct but also have the purchasing power to approve the buying of products they feel will benefit their teaching skills. Space is limited, and it does fill up fast. 


    Registration is open now for the 1st Annual Cosmetology Instructors Network Educational Summit & Trade Show in Monroeville, Pennsylvania.

  • What exactly are these committees that are listed on the website? Can I join one?

    We hope you will! Cosmetology Instructors Network is always looking for committee members to make Cosmetology Instructors Network a bigger, stronger, and more viable organization. Cosmetology Instructors Network has dozens of committees that will fit your interest. There is a committee interest form that can be found on committees. Fill it out and send it in and we look forward to your input with whatever committee you choose.

  • What are the Cosmetology Instructors Network Corporate Partners?

    Corporate Partners are companies that have partnered with the Cosmetology Instructors Network with the main goal of supporting the Cosmetology Educator. Corporate partners pay yearly sponsorship to the Cosmetology Instructors Network. Corporate Partners are valued for their financial support as this allows the Cosmetology Instructors Network to continue to provide Cosmetology Industry information and training to Cosmetology educators. Each level of corporate partnership comes with marketing benefits including a major discount for exhibiting at The Educational Summit, free or discounted advertising space in our Curl Talk, and more.
