DOUG SCHOON 2-DAY SEMINAR

ADVANCED CHEMISTRY OF NAILS

August 9–10, 2027 | Albany, Oregon

SCIENCE OVER OPINIONS.

Doug Schoon is returning to Oregon for two full days of advanced nail science, education, and conversation.

Internationally recognized for his contributions to cosmetic chemistry and nail product safety, Doug has spent decades researching the science behind the products nail professionals work with every day. He has an incredible ability to take complicated chemistry and make it understandable, relatable, and applicable to the work we actually do behind the nail table.

And 2027 will bring NEW information.

Doug will be presenting his newest research, newest data, updated findings, and new information at this event. If you attended with us in 2026, this is not simply a repeat of last year's seminar.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Over two full days, Doug will take us deeper into:

• Nail products and product chemistry
• Product performance, safety & longevity
• How formulation influences results
• Why products behave the way they do
• Natural nail science
• Current topics affecting professional nail technicians
• Doug's newest research, data and findings

Most importantly come with questions.

This is an interactive learning experience. You'll have the opportunity to participate in the conversation, ask Doug your questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the WHY behind the products and practices we use every day.
