Salon pros, The 2023 Texture Style Awards are just a few days away! Celebrating the diversity and beauty of all four hair textures, this year’s finalists brought their best, demonstrating total mastery of styling techniques across ten categories.
“I am so excited for the live Texture Style Awards ceremony where we will see who takes home the title in each texture category. We are ready to make a statement that our beloved industry is ready for both a change in perception in a change in practice. We are excited that the world has voiced how important Hair Stylists are, and we are leaning into this,” shared Texture Style Awards founder and celebrity hairstylist Monae Everett.
She continued, “The quality of the entries for the Texture Style Awards exceeded my expectations. I am so excited to see that artist put their heart and soul into both learning to style all hair textures and perfecting each texture for their photo entries.”
