Salonpreneur Magazine Partners with ABE Expo 2026 Bristol Event

A New South West Event Focused on Standards and Industry Growth

Salonpreneur Magazine is pleased to announce its media partnership with ABE Expo 2026, taking place at Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol, on 17–18 September.

As the first aesthetics, beauty and education expo of its kind in the South West, ABE Expo has been created to improve access to education, innovation and industry connection for professionals across the region.

Founded by Hayley Azzopardi, the event is designed to go beyond the traditional trade show model. Alongside showcasing developments in aesthetics and beauty, ABE Expo places a strong emphasis on raising standards, encouraging ethical practice and supporting more responsible approaches to client care.

The curated exhibition floor will showcase the latest skincare, aesthetic technologies, salon equipment, injectables, anti-ageing solutions, beauty treatments and training opportunities, giving professionals direct access to trusted brands and breakthrough solutions. A dedicated networking area, exhibitor lounge, exclusive VIP networking party on Day 1, and Awards Ceremony on Day 2 will further strengthen collaboration and celebrate excellence across the South West.

This balance between innovation and responsibility reflects a wider shift within the industry, where long-term success is increasingly linked to trust, transparency and professional integrity.

What sits at the centre of this partnership is a shared commitment to evolving the way the industry learns, connects and grows. Both Salonpreneur and ABE Expo are focused on creating space for new voices, emerging thought leaders and more meaningful conversations that support sustainable business growth.

As part of the partnership, Salonpreneur will be attending the event and highlighting the opportunity it presents for professionals looking to strengthen both their skills and their businesses.

If you’re attending ABE Expo this September, we look forward to seeing you there.
