The North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA), the pinnacle of hairstyling competitions in North America, and the Professional Beauty Association (PBA) are pleased to award international educator, school owner and platform artist, Martin Parsons, the NAHA 19 Lifetime Achievement Award.
NAHA's top honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizes industry icons that have left an indelible mark on the hair and beauty industry and is only given to licensed salon professionals. Past winners include Michael Gordon, Yosh Toya, Irvine Rusk, John Jay, Vidal Sassoon and Paul Mitchell.
There is no doubt that Martin Parsons belongs in this group of hair and beauty legends. As the owner of the prestigious Advanced Academies and a marquee platform artist, Martin Parsons has shared his contagious enthusiasm for quality education with thousands of stylists around the world.
Developing his own unique Design Techniques for Cutting in the early 1970's, Parsons has continually updated and simplified this system to allow hairstylists to produce consistent haircuts through balance, proportion and the facial shapes of clients.
Constantly copied but never duplicated, this system has helped thousands of stylists achieve their own sense of style and fashion. Considered one of the best long-hair artists in the world, Martin Parsons can achieve beautiful styles with a variety of lengths of hair.
An active member of the beauty community, Parsons has led byexample and inspired stylists to find their own unique style and technique. Knotting and folding techniques developed by Parsons have revolutionized how stylists create hair designs for special occasions.
