Here’s Who Won At NAHA This Year!

The 2021 North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) took place during Cosmoprof North America at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas featuring two NEW categories—”Salon of the Year” and last year’s added “Educator of the Year.” This year’s festivities were hosted by Living Proof Global Creative Director Michael Shaun Corby (@michaelshauncorby), with featured presentations by Silas Tsang (@silastsang) and the Ulta Beauty Pro Team. 

 

NAHA celebrates and features 15 categories across hair and makeup artistry. “The industry rallied to channel energy into groundbreaking innovation and camaraderie, and we couldn’t be prouder of the winners, finalists and everyone who put so much passion and energy into making tonight such a success,” shares Nina Daily, PBA’s Executive Director.
