The Lunatic Fringe, a Salt Lake City hair salon, won the Salon Team of the Year award at the North American Hairstyling Awards competition.
The NAHA competition is a national photographic beauty competition that celebrates the artistry and skill of the professional salon industry. The competition is sponsored by companies that operate within the makeup and beauty industry.
The Salon Team of the Year Award is given in recognition of the diversity, versatility, creativity and expertise demonstrated by hairstylists working at an individual salon.
The award follows on the heels of Lunatic Fringe's NAHA award win in the Salon MBA category in 2010.
The Salon MBA award allows "business-savvy salon owners" to showcase their hard work. Judging is based on demographics, business strategies, marketing, financials and image.
Husband-and-wife team Angie Katsanevas and Shawn Trujillo started Lunatic Fringe 12 years go in a small 700-square-foot cottage in downtown Salt Lake City. They have since expanded to seven other Utah locations and also have salons in Boise; Nashville, Tenn.; Orlando, Fla.; and in Ohio.
