MODERN Recap: The Education and Connection of Redken Symposium 2026
The 51st Redken Symposium returned to Las Vegas in June 2026, bringing specialized education and community to hair professionals who want to "Learn Better, Earn Better, Live Best."
The event, taking place September 26-27, will offer education — some CE-certified — on the latest trends in color, care and appliances.

Cosmo Prof’s biggest event for the professional community — Color the World, a virtual Hair Color and Care Education summit — will take place on September 26 and 27, 2021.
Color the World will bring together top brands, educators and influencers showcasing the latest innovation and trends in color, care, and appliances. Stylists will also have the opportunity to earn CE credit hours throughout the education summit.
Developed with stylists' needs in mind, Cosmo Prof has dedicated the event’s curriculum to better serve professionals as both artists and business owners. It will feature more than 30 education stages and presentations by more than 26 of the top brands in cutting, color, and business education. From brands including Avlon, John Paul Mitchell Systems, and Farouk/CHI, and presentations from Joico, Olaplex, and Moroccanoil, there’s something for everyone.
As business education is more important than ever during these trying economic times, stylists will also learn how to develop a strategy and achieve the paycheck of their dreams through money mapping, social media, and more during the “Blueprint to Six Figures” class led by Amy Carter, Founder and Principal at Empowering You Consulting.
Following the event, all classes will be available for two weeks in an effort to provide even more accessibility.
Professionals can purchase tickets for $50 and students receive a discounted price of $25 through August 31st.
