Finalist photos for America’s top hairstyling prize are completely transfixing.
参加美国顶级发型大赛的决赛选手的照片真是让人惊掉下巴。

The nation’s top beauty, hair, and nail stylists spent autumn planning, creating, and shooting entries for the North American Hairstyling Awards, the industry’s premier competition. The fruits of their labors are in, and they’re art-tastic.
美国顶尖的美容美发美甲师整个秋季都在为北美发型设计大奖策划、创作和拍摄参赛作品，这是该行业最重要的比赛。他们的作品很时尚，艺术性很高。

The awards show, which is put on by the Professional Beauty Association, takes place at the January International Salon and Spa Expo show in Los Angeles. Since the world of elite stylists is small, the judges review the entries anonymously, with no names attached.
颁奖典礼将在洛杉矶举办的一月份国际沙龙和水疗博览会上进行，由专业美容协会举办。由于精英设计师的圈子很小，评委们以匿名的方式审核参赛作品，没有署名。

This year’s 15 award categories include standbys such as Makeup Artist of the Year, Hairstylist of the Year, and Nail Professional of the Year, as well as Avant Garde, Haircutting, and Texture. A winner will also be chosen for best Salon or School Design.
今年的15个奖项包括常备奖项，如年度最佳化妆师、年度最佳发型师、年度专业美甲师、艺术创意大奖、剪裁大奖和最佳质感处理。获胜者还将被选为最佳沙龙或学校设计。

In summary, your hairstylist is underachieving. We dare you not to grin while looking at the Haircutting finalists.
