The recipient of this new award must master current men's commercial, contemporary and wearable styling trends. "Men's Hairstylist of the Year" will honor a stylist who displays the highest proficiency in the designs and techniques used in men's styling and grooming.
Make-Up Artist of the Year: NAHA has also changed the entry rules for the "Make-Up Artist of the Year" award. For the first time, competitors can submit their own entries without being nominated by a hairstylist. This allows make-up artists not affiliated with a stylist or salon to showcase their work.

All entries will require unedited images for all final entry images submitted. For more details visit probeauty.org/naha/rules.
