2020 NAHA AWARDS: New Category Announced!

The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) is excited to announce a new category for the upcoming 31st annual North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA), the top hair, makeup, and nail competition in North America and the premiere platform for beauty professionals to push the boundaries and bring their artistic vision to life. To celebrate this artistry, NAHA has created a new category for the 2020 show, called the #NAHAMoment Award.
