Congratulations to Mayra Rodriguez, of the Hillcrest Crossing salon, on being named the 2010 15th Annual Photographic Awards Cut winner! For this category,  each entry submitted three looks to showcase their versatility and range.

"I wouldn't have it any other way -- all of the other finalists are my friends, so thank you for making the competition really great," Rodriguez said, raising her trophy in their air and giving a loud shout out to her salon, Hillcrest Crossing.

The finalists for the 2010 Cut category included representatives from two academies -- Joanna Barrientos of the Santa Monica Academy and Devon Faldon of the Dallas Academy -- as well as salon stylists Aaron Seskin (Perimeter), Jessica Lasagna (Cumberland) and Mayra Rodriguez (Hillcrest Crossing).
