Loc And Braid Expo of Jax at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Jacksonville Riverfront – Jacksonville, FL

The Loc & Braid Expo is an all-day beauty, education, networking, and creative hair experience celebrating the artistry and business of locs, braids, natural hair, and the professional beauty industry.

Hosted by Let’s Be Social, the expo brings together locticians, braiders, hairstylists, barbers, educators, product companies, entrepreneurs, vendors, models, and beauty professionals for a day filled with education, live conversations, demonstrations, industry knowledge, networking, shopping, and inspiration.

The 2026 Loc & Braid Expo takes place Sunday, November 15, 2026, at the Southbank Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida. The daytime experience features professional educators and special guest speakers sharing knowledge about hair care, techniques, products, business, and the beauty industry. Guests can also shop with vendors, connect with other professionals, and build relationships throughout the day.

The evening transitions into Hairloom, a wearable-art hair and fashion experience featuring creative hair, fashion, models, designers, entertainment, and runway presentations. Hairloom brings together hair, clothing, art, and imagination for a unique finale to the expo.

Overall, the Loc & Braid Expo is more than a hair show—it is a space for education, exposure, networking, creativity, community, and celebrating the professionals who keep the loc, braid, and natural-hair industry moving forward.
