Nominees for Excellence in Nail Styling were: Gina Edwards, Jenna Hipp, and Yoko Sakakura. Actress Meagan Tandy and NAILS executive editor Beth Livesay presented the award for that category. Yoko Sakakura (@nails_by_yoko) took home the award. All three nail stylists were on-hand to walk the red carpet and support one another. "When I started doing nails, my parents were upset because they put me through college," said Sakakura, "But my nails are my passion."

Join NAILS in congratulating all of the nominees on their achievements. Congrats again to Yoko Sakakura on this amazing win!
