2022 Artistic Styling Awards (ASA) Highlights

Stylists are artist who love to show off what they can do. And that’s exactly what the Fantastic Sams Minnesota team did at the annual Artistic Styling Awards. The ASA is a national competition for Fantastic Sams across the country to showcase the amazing talent our stylists have in several categories, including color, cut and style.

We are especially proud of our Fantastic Sams Cut & Color Minnesota stylists who won 17 awards overall, including three category winners, eight category finalists and six honorable mentions. Congratulations to all the participants and winners! Check out the winning looks below!

Held in Las Vegas, ASA was a part of the Fantastic Sams 2022 National Convention. Aside from allowing stylists to compete for awards as part of ASA, the National Convention gives Fantastic Sams team members the opportunity to meet one another and form fast friendships with peers from across the country.

The ASA showcase is just one of the many exciting ways in which Fantastic Sams encourages, celebrates and supports stylists. It adds fun and excitement to a great career, celebrates creativity and reminds everyone that Fantastic Sams is more than just a job, it’s a family!
