It's the moment you have been waiting for all year! To kick off the excitement of the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA), MODERN and the Professional Beauty Association (PBA) bring you the 2015 NAHA finalists. Flip through the slideshow to see the Nail Professional category.

The Nail Professional category is new this year - entrants showed a multitude of skills, such as embellishments, nail art and salon nails. Entrants in this category had to be certified nail technicians and did not need a hairstylist nomination to enter the category.

MODERN will be reporting LIVE from the Red Carpet and the Awards Ceremony at NAHA 2015. The awards will be held Sunday, July 12, 2015, at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. MODERN SALON will also be producing the NAHA Winner’s Portfolio in partnership with PBA and Redken, Pureology, Matrix, L’Oreal Professionnel, Mizani, Essie, SalonCentric and StyleSeat.

Make sure to check out PBA’s Facebook page to watch a special video created to showcase the work and photography that represents the artistry of NAHA 2015.
