Professional Beauty Association Names Salon Glo Owner as Finalist
The Professional Beauty Association's North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) has announced that Dan Csicsai of Salon Glo has been named a NAHA finalist in the Avant Garde category. NAHA is known as the pinnacle of beauty competitions in North America, where only the top stylists are recognized for their talent and skill.

The NAHA competition has received over 700 entries by beauty professionals from across North America, truly demonstrating the magnitude of the event. Via a blind entry process and judged by a diverse group of leading international hairstylists and makeup artists, entries were narrowed down to five finalists per category; one winner in each category will be chosen. The awards ceremony will be broadcast live via free, streaming video at www.hairdesignertv.com.

"I try to always push myself to keep learning and not to get stuck in a rut or become stagnant," says Csicsai, explaining his motivation for entering NAHA (considered by industry pros to be the Oscars of the hair industry). "I truly believe that hairdressers make a difference in people's lives. We not only create beauty; we also build lasting relationships with our clients. The most rewarding part of hairdressing is when you see how you changed someone, and how they look at themselves differently in the mirror. We make them feel better about themselves. We give them confidence and, hopefully, boost their day. I can't imagine doing anything else," says the Salon Glo owner.

Salon Glo boasts a staff of 20 highly-trained stylists. The upscale-but-accessible salon has built a reputation of superior customer service coupled with a unique, pampering experience that clients from all walks of life enjoy. Opened in 2009, the space is divided into two inviting areas; one for cuts and styling, the other for color application.

When not treating his clients to the best in hair design, Csicsai is traveling the country (and, before opening Salon Glo, the world) as a platform artist for Matrix/Logics. He teaches from the stage at seminars, hair shows and trainings. Dan also styles hair for ad campaigns and photo shoots.

"I became a platform artist because I love to teach other stylists. It's all about keeping that passion for your craft and I love sharing that. However, when you are a platform artist you are constantly on the move, from one city to the next, or country to country. I wanted to enjoy building a strong team of stylists. That is why I opened our salon. I am blessed to have a great team and staff," explains
Csicsai.
