2nd Hairbrained Video Award Nominees Announced

As a proud sponsor of the Hairbrained community, American Salon is excited to reveal the nominees for the 2nd Annual Hairbrained Video Awards. A catalyst for creativity, the HVA has become a coveted award that helps propel careers and foster community.

Now, two years later, more than 1000 videos were created and shared by Hairbrained members in 2014, the majority purely for creative expression or to educate peers.

Many careers of the first year’s nominees have blossomed, and they are leaving their mark in our industry. Most importantly, the mutual sense of respect and support for our fellow artists has grown.

HVA winners will receive much needed funding to aid in the production of future projects. A panel of judges will choose from the nominees, a winner in each category, and an overall Grand Prize Winner ($5,000).

HVA Trophy Winners will be honored and prizes awarded in New York on Sunday, March 8, 2015, at The Arena Night Club, in collaboration with IBS New York.

And now, without further ado, the nominees for The 2nd Annual Hairbrained Video Awards are:
