Welcome back to American Spa's second year of 12 Days of PCA announcements! In 2017, we decided to announce the winners of our annual Professional's Choice Awards a little differently. Instead of giving you all 50 winners (plus the finalists) at once, we broke them up into fun groups to give you a few of the winners each day through out the month of November. This year, we decided to follow suit and unveil the winners of our 14th annual Professional's Choice Awards over the last 12 days.
