Posted on June 05 2026

His first U.S. seminar in over 10 years. Two days. Albany, Oregon. August 31 – September 1, 2026.
If you've ever wanted to understand the real science behind what you put on your clients' nails — the chemistry, the safety, the why — this is the event that changes everything.
Cordoza Nail Supply is proud to host Doug Schoon for a 2-day seminar unlike anything the Pacific Northwest nail industry has seen. And yes — a signed copy of Advanced Chemistry of Nails is included with every ticket.
Who Is Doug Schoon?
Doug Schoon is one of the most respected scientists in the professional nail industry. With 16+ patents, 20+ years as a senior researcher at CND, and decades of work shaping the safety standards nail techs rely on every day, Doug is the person behind the science you use — whether you know it or not.
He's the author of Advanced Chemistry of Nails — the definitive reference for nail professionals who want to go deeper than technique and understand the molecular-level science of their craft. Every attendee gets a signed copy.
This is his only U.S. 2-day seminar in 2026. It's happening in our backyard. Don't let it pass you by.
