The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) has announced an official date change for the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA). 2021 NAHA will take place on August 29 at the Cosmoprof North America Show (CPNA) in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Convention Center.
“The PBA wants to ensure the best in-person experience for the 2021 North American Hairstyling Awards,” shares Nina Daily, chief marketing officer of the PBA. “We believe that NAHA is designed to be in-person to celebrate all of its talent and community, and as CPNA has shifted their Las Vegas dates to August 29 - 31, we have adjusted our date, as well.”
NAHA continues to be the most prestigious professional beauty competition in North America and honors the salon industry’s top artists who push the boundaries of skill and creativity year after year. NAHA Finalists will be announced on January 14, 2021, and NAHA will return to ISSE Long Beach in January 2022.
