Redken Announces the 2026 Redken Symposium

Redken unveils the 2026 Redken Symposium, the brand’s premier global education event, taking place June 13–15, 2026, at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas. 

Marking its 51st edition, the event will unite thousands of salon professionals, educators and artists from around the world for three days of cutting-edge education, creative inspiration and industry connection.

Mounia Tahiri, General Manager, Redken USA, said, 

“Redken Symposium is one of the most powerful moments for our professional community to come together, share knowledge and inspire the future of our industry. This year’s event is designed to spark creativity and elevate careers, giving stylists the tools, techniques and confidence they need to continue raising the standard of professional hair.”

After several years on tour, the Redken Symposium returns to Las Vegas, bringing a global network of Redken professionals together for a brand new era of Redken Symposium, with brand new education, content, and inspiration.

At the center of the experience is the Redken Mainstage, featuring four immersive education sessions led by 27 top Redken artists and educators. Together, they will unveil a collaborative education collection of 27 trend-forward looks, designed to inspire salon professionals through 2026 and beyond.

Each symposium session explores a key theme shaping the future of salon services:

• The Complete Blonde Story: The New Expectation– A deep dive into modern blonding techniques, from dimensional color to transformative corrections.
• Elevating the Trends of Today: The Authentic Pro Touch– Demonstrating how professional expertise transforms today’s most in-demand trends.
• Connecting to Individuality: The Art of Personalization– Inspiring stylists to create hyper-personalized looks that build lasting client relationships.
• Creating the Next Iconic Trends: Celebrate the Artist Within– Offering a forward-looking exploration of global trend forecasting and creative expression.

New for 2026, the Redken Business Forum will run concurrently with mainstage programming, offering salon owners, managers and leaders dedicated sessions focused on leadership, wellness and business growth.

In addition to four Redken Mainstage sessions and the Business Forum, Redken will offer daily programming throughout Symposium – designed to immerse attendees in the experience while providing opportunities for independent education, community networking, and celebration.
