The hair, makeup and nail art competition, Global Beauty Masters, announced the winning team in an exciting finale aired April 25, 2016. Working against five other teams in the challenge to create an avant-garde “Phoenix Rising” look, Mexico’s SHE Salon won the title of Global Beauty Masters.

The judges were platform artist, Charlie Price; celebrity makeup artist, Vicki Starr; master educator, Sam Villa; award-winning nail artist, Amy Becker; and co-founder and chairman of the board of John Paul Mitchell Systems, John Paul DeJoria.
After a season of rigorous competition, participating in challenges such as making over cancer survivors, turning beauty bloggers into pin-ups and basing a look off of the word “liberty,” the professionals of SHE Salon emerged as the judges’ choice for their fierce finish.

The winners will receive a grand prize that includes product packages from John Paul Mitchell Systems, Beauty & Pin-Ups, Conair, Revlon Professional, Wella, Bar Bar Tools, Fromm Beauty, Goldwell, TIGI and Millennium Software.

The show was written and directed by multiple Emmy nominee Jim Milio, and produced by his award-winning team including executive producer, Jeanette B. Milio, and producers, Glenn Kirschbaum, Jesse Combs and Schlonda McCarthan.
