Are you tuning in for North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA), the biggest star-studded event in the beauty industry on Sunday, July 13th? MODERN and Loreal Professionnel will be broadcasting the entire ceremony LIVE from the Red Carpet and the stage! Make sure you register to watch.
These 60+ finalists have done what so many of us wish to achieve in this industry. It takes months, sometimes even a year to bring a NAHA collection to life, and to now have your work exposed and judged in front of the entire beauty industry is a little life changing. We, as a community of students, hairstylists, salon owners, educators and executives owe it to these finalists to show them we applaud and support their hard work and talented efforts.

Celebrate the Winners
After months of sleepless nights filled with anticipation, one finalist in each category will hold the NAHA trophy with great pride and relief by the end of the night. Streaming the live awards lets you live in the moment with the winners. Seeing the expression on each winner’s face when they hear their name called is exciting, and hearing their acceptance speeches are priceless. These are moments that can’t be recreated.
Become Inspired
Not everyone has the ability to hop on a plane and attend industry events like this—events that ignite the passion and fuel our inner creative fire. This is a great opportunity for you to rally your students, educators, salon teams and brand managers and host an evening filled with pure imagination.
Come Together

In order for this industry to stay empowered, we must be united as a community filled with support and adoration. Our goal is to make #NAHAlive a hashtag that speaks volume by the end of the night. Won’t you help us make that possible?
It’s Free
What more can we say. Streaming the awards won’t cost you a dime and you can even wear your pajamas. We promise not to tell anyone about your pink fuzzy slippers. And, if you do feel like getting all gussied up and hosting a NAHA LIVE Viewing Party, we ask that you tweet us @ModernSalon a pic of you dressed to the nines.
