In an attempt to recognize rising talent in the beauty industry, The North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) added a new category last year for 2012, the Newcomer Stylist of the Year. The category is meant to bridge the gap between Student Hairstylist of the Year and Hairstylist of the Year. This year, we invited the last year’s 2012 Newcomer of the Year finalists Sal Misseri, Ray Hornback, Nick Hemsley, Valeria Amirova and Jasmine Gibbs, to share with us their experiences after NAHA and how it changed their lives.
It was a pleasure to sit down with Berry and DJ in their chic environment where they fulfill a multitude of roles each day: salon professionals, visionaries, teachers and tastemakers. I think their profile says it all. They are also fellow mermaid enthusiasts. I wish MAINENTRANCE the best of luck at NAHA 2013.
