The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) announced the winners of Beacon 2019, the national student competition where top entrants win industry-wide recognition and are invited to attend special classes and networking opportunities during the International clinic classroom and Spa Expo (ISSE) in Long Beach, California. This year, Future Professionals from 47 Paul Mitchell Schools took top honors and earned 167 of the 300 spots at the renowned educational event.
Participating students will attend Beacon 2019 on January 25–27. Along with their Beacon education tracks and a 3-day ticket to ISSE, Beacon winners will also attend the Beacon Bash, the North American Hairstyling Awards’ (NAHA’s) Red Carpet Reception and after party, and the 30th annual NAHA award ceremony.
