Episode FAQ
What is BeautyPass Live?
BeautyPass Live is NewBeauty’s only in-person consumer event of the year, discussed on this episode of The Dr. Randi Show with NewBeauty CEO Mike Glaicar. Mike describes it as the ultimate night of beauty, bringing roughly 600 consumers together in New York City with leading brands, providers, and industry experts. Attendees can try products, talk directly with the brands, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the beauty industry. The 2026 event returns to New York City on October 20.
When and where is BeautyPass Live 2026 taking place?
According to this episode of The Dr. Randi Show, BeautyPass Live 2026 returns to New York City on October 20 at a Midtown venue called Lavon. The guest, NewBeauty CEO Mike Glaicar, notes the event is capped at 600 attendees, so space is limited. This year’s theme is Balance, Beauty, and Beyond.
What is the “Balance, Beauty, and Beyond” theme about?
On this episode, the guest explains that BeautyPass Live 2026 carries the theme Balance, Beauty, and Beyond to reflect how beauty, health, and wellness are converging. He shares that the event has more health partners than ever before and aims to give consumers a one-stop-shop experience rather than sending them to separate providers for beauty, health, and hormone health. In his view, this reflects where the industry is headed.
How has BeautyPass Live evolved over the years?
The guest, NewBeauty CEO Mike Glaicar, shares on this episode that BeautyPass Live shifted to virtual events for several years during COVID, which drew strong attendance but lacked in-person connection. He says it returned in person in 2024 as a smaller event, moved to the Lavon venue in 2025, and returns there again in 2026. He notes the biggest change has been growing from a consumer-focused event into one that brings providers and consumers together.
What makes BeautyPass Live different from other beauty events?
On this episode of The Dr. Randi Show, the guest explains that BeautyPass Live stands out by combining consumers, providers, and brands under one roof, which he says few other events do. He notes that NewBeauty is selective about its brand partners, so attendees can sample giveaway products, speak directly with brand leads or the doctors representing them, and learn about treatments and procedures in one place.
What can attendees expect to experience at BeautyPass Live?
The guest shares on this episode that BeautyPass Live offers hands-on experiences, including product giveaways and some treatments performed live during the event. He mentions that popular partners can draw lines up to 100 people long, and that the layout lets consumers walk the room and gravitate toward the treatments, procedures, and activations that interest them most. He describes the goal as a white-glove, hospitality-focused night.
What is the NB100 activation at BeautyPass Live?
On this episode, the guest describes NB100 as NewBeauty’s program identifying the 100 brands it believes will become the biggest in beauty, drawn from those launched in the past five years. At BeautyPass Live, NB100 brands sample and give away products, and NewBeauty’s content editors match consumers to brands based on their concerns and preferences so they can try products for free.
How does BeautyPass Live build a sense of community?
The guest shares on this episode that community is one of the biggest things attendees have taught the NewBeauty team. He notes that guests often come in large groups with sisters and friends, make an event of it, and reconnect with people they have met at past events. In his view, that sense of community is something providers and brands should aim to build with their own patients and customers.
How can you get tickets to BeautyPass Live?
According to this episode, tickets for BeautyPass Live just opened, and the guest suggests searching online for BeautyPass Live to find consumer tickets. He notes that while NewBeauty has around 105,000 BeautyPass members, the event can only fit 600 attendees, so demand is high and space is limited. A few sponsorship spaces for brands may also remain.
What is the future of BeautyPass Live?
On this episode of The Dr. Randi Show, the guest, NewBeauty CEO Mike Glaicar, shares that in-person events are a major focus and he expects BeautyPass Live to keep growing over the next five years, especially in bringing providers and consumers together. He mentions the event may eventually outgrow its current space and that there are early talks about expanding to other cities, with demand from members asking for stops like Chicago and Miami, though nothing is confirmed yet.
