HAIR-GASM! The Best of the 2010 Hairstyling Awards
Every year, the the North American Hairstyling Awards competition brings forth a new crop of rainbow-colored, architectural, retro-inspired, hair-spirational eye candy. This year’s recently-announced winners and nominees pushed the envelope more than ever before. There are multiple images form each nominee in each category, so click on each entrant’s name below if you want to see more images from that particular series. Be sure to check out the before-and-after images in the Haircolor category – it’s amazing what professional lighting and a great styling team can do. An array of sci-fi heroines, snow queens, robots and circus starlets, after the jump. [Via amazing hairstylist Holly Jones, who’s been providing hair help to Coilhouse editorials since Issue 01].

I was gonna ask about the guys too but – yeah – most of these designs wouldn’t really merge too well would they? Not that a guy wouldn’t wear it but it seems like the male models would be a distraction. Not sure with though…
Fantastic work obviously – kinda makes me wish this was the stuff we’d see everyday on the street. Sure it’s take hours to achieve but hey, it’s worth it no?
Impressed with the level of creativity & how well executed the ideas are. The Chrystofer Benson entry in particular. Looks so deceptively simple! Love it.

These are fantastic! All of them!
I’m really digging the composition in the Dimitrios Tsioumas entry… that woman looks like she was lifted straight out of Aeon Flux or something.
