The Professional Beauty Association (PBA), whose mission is to advocate and fight for the rights and professionalism of the beauty industry, announced that the 35th annual North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) is coming up on June 2nd in Orlando, Florida. NAHA will be held in conjunction with Premiere Orlando at the Chapin Theater, located at the Orange County Convention Center.
NAHA, coined the "Oscars of Hair" by Modern Salon, has recognized and honored the industry's trailblazers who continuously push the boundaries of skill and creativity.
"NAHA is the biggest beauty event of the year for the United States and Canada, and people around the globe watch to see the greatest talent of our industry on this special night. This being our 35th year of honoring and celebrating excellence makes the event even more exciting as we showcase some of the biggest talent, incredible moments, and pure creativity that make NAHA the gold standard of our industry. I can’t wait to see it all come together!”
Michael Shaun Corby, Global Education Ambassador and NAHA Committee Chairman
NAHA 2024 will commence with a red-carpet reception, where attendees can raise a glass with industry peers and catch a glimpse of the nominees. The program includes a VIP reception, red carpet and media interviews with finalists, an awards ceremony, and a winners' lounge where the winners can share their real-time reactions. In honor of the event’s 35th anniversary, a selection of previous NAHA winners will participate in the ceremony, recreating looks from past winning collections and presenting runway shows during the event.
"The North American Hairstyling Awards is the must-attend event for the who's who of the beauty industry," added Nina Daily, executive director of the Professional Beauty Association. "We are thrilled to host it on the East Coast where attendees can experience the magic of the red carpet, mingle with the best and brightest in the business, and witness artistic vision come to life."
In a nod to the 35th anniversary theme of Beauty and Brilliance, attendees are invited to sparkle and shine by donning their most captivating metallic looks. In addition, all attendees will receive a swag bag, sponsored by amika, filled with the latest products from top brands in the industry.
