Announcing the Winners of the 2017 Professional's Choice Awards

In honor of our 13th annual Professional's Choice Awards, we decided to announce the winners of our 2017 season a little differently this year. Instead of announcing all 49 winners (plus finalists) at once, we broke up the categories into groups and announced a few winners from each group per day. Over the last two weeks we've been celebrating the 12 Days of PCA here on American Spa online and across our social media platforms, bringing you the winners and finalists of each category that you, our professionals, voted for. Now, we've got the complete list of categories, winners, and finalists for you to enjoy. Below are the winners of American Spa's 2017 Professional's Choice Awards:
