The winners have been crowned!

The Professional Beauty Association, producer of the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA), has announced the 2020 winners in 16 competition categories. NAHA honors the talent and creativity of the beauty industry’s most inspiring artists. Each year, industry professionals submit their work and are judged by an expert panel of judges, including MODERN's own Editor in Chief Alison Alhamed and Beauty & Fashion Director Maggie Mulhern. 

The NAHA celebration took place during the International Salon and Spa Expo on Saturday, January 25, 2020 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California. MODERN SALON, proud co-founders of NAHA, hosted the official NAHA red carpet to congratulate the finalists and welcome the VIP guests to our industry's most prestigious competition.
