COMPETITIVE EDGE

The North American Hairstyling Awards are the Oscars of our industry. Unlike any other experience, this opportunity comes only once a year for students from the Inspire Greatness locations. Through our NAHA Experience, you will have the opportunity to shoot with an industry photographer and be mentored by the Inspire Greatness Artistic Team. At the end of the week, you will have prepared a collection for submission to NAHA in the Student Hairstylist of the Year category.

Participation in the NAHA Experience is based on a competitive application process. This elective is not included in the program and includes additional fees.
