OnSaturday, August 2, 2025, the energy in NYC shifts as HUE Affairtakes over the Metropolitan Pavilion, 110 W. 19th Street, New York, NY 10011, for an unforgettable day of beauty, culture, and connection. Presented by CVS Pharmacyand powered (tech) byMYAVANA,this curated one-day experience invites attendees to shop, discover, and vibe with the best in Black-owned beauty and lifestyle.
“HUE Affair is where culture, community, and commerce converge,”says Ylorie Taylor, longtime beauty executive and this year's event curator. “People come for the brands, but they leave with inspiration, real connections, and the joy of being in a space that celebrates beauty on their terms.”
Spanning hair, body, wellness, and more, HUE Affair is not your average expo-it's where legacy meets the next wave, and commerce is powered by community. From 1-6 PM, nearly 1,000 guests will immerse themselves in a space designed to spotlight 50+ dynamic brands, celebrate textured hair and melanated skin, and remind the industry where innovation is really happening. HUE Affair's collaboration withCVS Pharmacy elevates this year's experience for both brands and attendees-centering the community consumer by offering real-life access to shop their favorite products and discover new ones. It's a unique opportunity to drive trial, awareness, and sales all in one place.
HUE (short for Hair Unites Everyone) was created to amplify the voices of Black entrepreneurs and build direct bridges between brands and the consumers who love them. After activating in cities across America over the years, the event returns to New York during Black Business Month for its most elevated experience yet.
“At MYAVANA, we're proud to power this movement, where Black-owned brands aren't just participating in the beauty industry-we're leading it, shaping it, and setting the standard for the future,” saysCandace V. Mitchell, Founder & CEO, MYAVANA
This year's lineup includes leaders like Camille Rose and CANTU, emerging names like Kativa Curly Plexand Pardon My Fro, and cult favorites like Bask & Lather Co., allowing attendees to shop brands you'll find on CVS Pharmacy shelves and beyond.
