#NerdStalk NAHA 2012
After the excitement of PBA’s NAHA Finalist announcement on Monday, we immediately began our (not so) covert ops in #NerdStalking. We have compiled information on this year’s finalists to help you research your favorites and decide who you will rooting for at the 2012 North American Hairstyling Awards on July 22, 2012 in Las Vegas, NV.
In this 3 part series, you will find finalists listed by category and avenues to connect with these very talented stylists. Be sure and follow The Hair Nerds on Facebook and Twitter because we have barely scratched the surface of nerdiness here.
For the latest in NAHA news, check out PBA Beauty Week’s facebook page.
