Here are some of the pictures from our trip to Vegas for the NAHA Awards! (North American Hairstyling Awards)

Mari, Heather, Megan and I with one of our new favorite Super Stars, Faatemah Ampey, winner of the Fashion Forward NAHA Award (my favorite category). Faatemah really liked Mari, they became fast friends. We hope to try to get Faatemah to the school soon to teach the students.

The girls at Eye Candy, the afterparty for NAHA. This officially makes me either the coolest mom or the worst. Sammy 15, on a Sunday, in Vegas, at a club, with her mom.
Our good friends, my mentors and icons in the industry Mary and Phillip Wilson!
Nikki and Supa Sam! With their mentor and friend, Phillip.
Mary and I. I attribute our new adventure at Austin Kade Academy to attending the phenominal retreat facilitated by Mary and the amazing Ann Mincey. I highly recommend Destination Rejuvenation! It will change your life too!
Thanks to probeauty and NAHA for the inspiration and great time! Next year we will be up there getting our own awards! GO AKA!
I vote for coolest mom. :-) Hoping I'm the same when ours hits 15!
