Now in its 7th year, LASHoff aims to highlight the industry’s top lash stylists and salons from around the world to help further develop their business. The contest also increases awareness for both stylists and the public on proper application techniques and how a proper set of lashes should look.
LASHoff has two winners: Lash Artist of the Year and Fans’ Choice of the Year. All entrants compete for Lash Artist of the Year. To enter, entrants must submit a video and still images, including two before and two after images, for judging. Finalists will be judged by a panel of lash professionals comprising elite, highly experienced Advanced Master stylists, education professionals and industry insiders, including NovaLash’s own Sophy Merszei. The panel will select the 2017 Lash Artist of the Year, while fans will vote for their favorite to be selected as Fans’ Choice winner. Entrants will be judged on application technique, products used, what they teach their clients and their overall spokesmanship.
