Phoenix, AZ — The Style Exhibition, produced by 3Jay Productions and hosted by Jalia Pettis, announces a refined and forward- thinking educational experience designed for beauty professionals ready to move beyond fundamentals and into mastery.
Taking place May 3, 2026, at the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix, Arizona, The Style Exhibition introduces a format the industry has not seen before: no cut and color demonstrations. Instead, the focus is exclusively on advanced styling, finishing techniques, makeup artistry, content strategy, and community-building frameworks that support long-term career growth.
This intentional shift places emphasis on polish, presentation, editorial influence, makeup artistry for film/TV, and strategic visibility equipping artists with the tools to elevate both their craft and their careers in today’s evolving beauty landscape. The 2026 educator lineup brings together more than 100 years of combined industry experience, representing excellence across session styling, textured hair, makeup artistry, brand leadership, and professional development.
Confirmed educators include:
- Jamie Wiley – Session Hairstylist & Founder of Hair Boss
- Marietta Carter-Narcisse – Veteran Makeup Artist & Global Educator
- Lauren Moser-Samuels – Curly Hair Expert & 4X NAHA Finalist
- Mireya Villarreal – Cosmetologist & Founder of Pink Pewter
- Krystelle Marcotte – Cosmetologist & Community Connector
Together, this collective represents mastery across styling, textured hair specialization, makeup artistry, entrepreneurship, and community-centered leadership within the professional beauty space.
“The Style Exhibition was created to fill a gap,” says Pettis. “There are countless spaces dedicated to cutting and coloring. This experience is about refinement. It’s about understanding how to compose and finish. It’s about teaching professionals how to complete the look, document it with intention, build community, and position themselves strategically in the marketplace.”
The one-day immersive event will feature curated Look & Learn sessions, elevated networking, and business-forward education tailored for working professionals seeking longevity and relevance in a rapidly evolving industry.
Official media partners and supporting organizations include:
- Associated Hair Professionals (AHP)
- Modern Salon
- Professional Beauty Association (PBA)
- Beauty Cast Network
Additional sponsors and collaborators will be announced in the coming weeks.
