As the top hair, makeup, and nail competition in North America, NAHA is the premier platform for beauty professionals to push the boundaries and bring their artistic vision to life. For the second year, NAHA took place during the International Salon and Spa Expo (ISSE) show on January 25, 2020.
Each year, industry artists submit their work -- which often takes months of planning, shooting, and editing -- and are judged by a blind panel of judges, many of which were selected through a call for new judges for 2020. Finalists are chosen by an anonymous process with no contact between judges or knowledge of artist names to ensure anonymity and fairness and enabling a true celebration of excellence, creativity, and technical ability.
This year's finalist candidates span fifteen categories of excellence across hair, makeup and nail artistry.
