The Professional Beauty Association revealed the 2022 North American Hairstyling Awards finalist collections.
 
The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) announced the 33rd annual North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) finalists. NAHA is the most prestigious professional beauty competition in North America and honors the beauty industry’s top artists who push the boundaries of artistry and skill. Stunning collections range from the razor-sharp precision of haircutting to edgy avant garde.
 
"The 2022 North American Hairstyling Award finalists showcase excellence, creativity, and technical ability," shares Nina Daily, PBA’s Executive Director. “Year after year, we continue to be amazed by the level of talent and elevated artistry shown by these artists.”
 
To win a NAHA award, artists submit their collections in 14 creative and inspirational categories of hair, makeup, and education excellence. Development of these collections often take months of planning, envisioning, and shooting.
 
Collections are judged anonymously in three rounds by a panel of esteemed hairdressers, makeup artists, experts, and educators – including Antoinette Beenders, Danilo, Errol Douglas, Kevin Murphy, Kris Sorbie, Michael DeVellis, Robert Ham, Robert Lobetta, Sam Villa, Serge Normant, Tabatha Coffey, Tippi Shorter, Vernon François, and more.
