After narrowing countless entries to the Slay Belles contest down to five finalists, we asked the five talented stylists to create a New Year’s Eve, little-black-dress-appropriate submission. 

Congrats to our five finalists:

Vanessa Ospina @_vanessaospina_

Casey Powell @updoguru

Sara Ortega @hairspray_studio

Anna Marelli @annaeleine

Breann Garcia @hairbybreanngarcia

The five finalists were sent a challenge box packed with products and tools from Hot ToolsHairUWear Professional and Scruples—and were asked to use at least TWO products from the Challenge Box.

Here's where you come in: The grand-prize winner will be chosen by YOU, MODERN SALON readers! Public voting is open until November 6, so make sure you vote for your favorite submission every day.

Take a look above to view all the finalists' submissions, and VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE AT MODERNSALON.COM/SLAYBELLES.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!  You can still hang with these guys AND get the chance to win some of the amazing prizes they’re snagging by entering our Slay Belles Giveaway—the winners go home with jaw-dropping loot.
