MODERN SALON's Indie Pro Awards has returned for its second annual iteration ahead of our fall edition of Independent Boot Camp! This year's entries from independent beauty and barbering professionals across the U.S. have proven to be some of the best hair and nail art we've seen yet, and we're so excited to share with you who we've chosen as our finalists in each category.

Take a look through the above slideshow to see the entries that earned these artists a spot in the finals, and be sure to send your favorites a hearty congratulations!

Then, head over to independentbootcamp.com to secure your ticket to the in-person Indie Pro Awards and MODERN SALON 100 ceremony where we will name category winners, happening on the evening of October 8th at the Hilton Los Angeles Culver City. We can't wait to celebrate with everyone. See you there!
