Austin Latino Hair Stylist Set to Make Hair History at 2025 North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA)
Four-time North American Hairstyling Awards winner, Allen Ruiz returns with dual nods, representing Austin and the Latino community on hair's biggest stage. 'Winning again would not only honor my creative evolution—it would affirm every risk I've taken to elevate this craft. It's deeply personal and incredibly inspiring.'— Allen Ruiz AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2025 / / -- Allen Ruiz, acclaimed salon owner and stylist based in Austin, Texas, has earned two nominations in this year's 36th Annual North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) — equivalent to the 'Academy Awards of Hair.' The ceremony takes place on Sunday, June 1, 2025, at the Chapin Theater in Orlando, FL, from 8–10 PM. A four-time NAHA champion—twice winning Hairstylist of the Year (2007, 2013), earning Salon Team of the Year (2011), and most recently Master Stylist of the Year (2023)—Ruiz returns this year competing in both Master Hairstylist of the Year and Hairstylist of the Year. Master Hairstylist is by invitation only: NAHA invited 100 elite stylists to submit, ultimately narrowing the field to just five finalists per category. Hairstylist of the Year . This marks Ruiz's second time being named a finalist in NAHA's top two categories—an honor achieved by only a select few in the award's 36-year history. His first dual nomination came in 2016, though he left that year without a win. 'Being recognized again in both categories is incredibly meaningful,' says Ruiz. 'In 2016, I was truly honored just to be nominated, and I feel the same way now. Of course, I'd love to bring one home this time, but more than anything, I'm proud of the work and grateful to be part of a community that continues to inspire me.' For Master Hairstylist of the Year, Ruiz's entry, 'Poise,' draws on the refined silhouette of 1990s supermodels, haute couture doll-like artistry, and modern cinematic finesse. His 'Hairstylist of the Year' collection, 'Red Flux,' merges sharp precision with textured energy—short cuts pulsate in contrasting depths of black and fiery red. 'NAHA has grown into so much more than an awards ceremony—it's a launchpad that pushes me to go beyond the salon chair and the lens,' Allen Ruiz reflects. 'This year, a win would be especially meaningful.

Last Night in Baseball: A long time coming
There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to handle themselves. That's why we're here to help, though, by sifting through the previous days' games, and figuring out what you missed, but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: Hello It's Me Memorial Day Weekend is upon us, which means it's time to crank up the Yacht Rock Radio and listen to some smooth tunes by the likes of Kenny Loggins and Todd Rundgren. And look at the Nationals, sending us into the holiday weekend on a high note like they were Michael McDonald. After the Braves took an early 2-0 lead on back-to-back homers, Keibert Ruiz got the Nats on the board in the bottom of the first inning. This wasn't an ordinary RBI double, either. For the first time in his MLB career, Ruiz was playing in front of his parents, who made the trip to Washington from Venezuela. Ruiz has appeared in 450 games since making his debut for the Dodgers in 2020, and his parents had tried to see him four different times earlier before their visas were approved this year. The 26-year-old catcher had another RBI in the fourth inning that broke up a 5-5 tie, though the Braves battled back to send it to extras. In the 10th inning, Amed Rosario stepped up to the plate for his first at-bat in a week and brought in the game-winning run for the home team, who have now won five in a row. Rosario had been out since last Friday after cutting his leg on a table at the team's hotel. (Strange injury, but maybe he's a Bills fan.) His return, and Ruiz showing out for his parents, were the highlights of the hottest stretch yet for Washington this season. On the other hand, it was a tough loss for the Braves, who have lost three of four since finally getting above .500. Fortunately for them, reinforcements are coming: Former MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. is set to make his 2025 debut Friday night. Vivas' first MLB dinger Jorbit Vivas had to wait a long time for his first homer in the majors. He signed as an international free agent with the Dodgers all the way back in 2017, and was traded to the Yankees in the Trey Sweeney deal in 2023. He was brought to the majors in mid-July 2024, and optioned back down without ever being put into a game; it happened to him again at the start of the 2025 season, when he was called up to take Trent Grisham's roster spot while he was on paternity leave. Vivas got another chance — an actual one this time — when Jazz Chisholm Jr. landed on the IL. The 24-year-old infielder hasn't hit much at all in the 17 games he's now appeared in — he entered play on Thursday batting .156/.250/.188 — but he got a hit that made a difference against the Rangers. Vivas took Nathan Eovaldi deep in the bottom of the fifth, a solo shot that gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead … and the only offense either team would see all afternoon. Eovaldi was excellent otherwise, allowing just four other hits and one walk across six innings, in which he also struck out six Yankees hitters. Too bad for the righty and the Rangers, though, is that Carlos Rodon was even better: He tossed six innings himself, but they were scoreless ones, with eight strikeouts against four baserunners. Five scoreless innings combined out of the team's bullpens later, and New York held on for the win and a sweep of Texas. Astros party like it's 2017 As much fun as it is to see young players experience career firsts, it's also worth celebrating when veterans put together old-school performances (and honestly, there's a sense of relief, too, that Father Time hasn't caught up quite yet). Jose Altuve and Lance McCullers Jr., the longest-tenured Astros, did that on Thursday night in a 9-2 win over the Mariners. Altuve knocked two shots out of the park to end a 20-game HR drought. Meanwhile, McCullers struck out eight batters, his most in nearly three years. Although he didn't get the win, McCullers still went longer (4.1 innings) and threw more pitches (91) than in his previous three starts this season. Altuve, who turned 35 earlier this month, hadn't even had an RBI in May before his four-RBI night. He had also been on pace for his lowest slugging percentage of his career until then. We'll see if Thursday night was simply a throwback game for Altuve, or if, like the Astros' theme weekend, The Force has awakened. Even the security at Coors Field is struggling First, the setup: There are two ways to approach making a joke about this happening to Johan Rojas, who was batting just .259/.316/.341 for the Phillies in 34 games this season at the time of this case of mistaken identity. You could be like all the amateur comedians on social media saying, "The guards are right, though, Rojas isn't a big-league player." There's a problem there, however: As poor as Rojas' season has been, it's still significantly better than what the Rockies are hitting as a team. Colorado is batting .219/.286/.362 even with Coors Field's inherent boost to offense, giving them an OPS+ of 74 that's 10 points lower than Rojas' own. So, the solution is to instead say that you can't blame the guards for this, they simply don't know what a baseball player is even supposed to look like anymore. This one is on the house, no need to credit us after you one-up your buddy's bit. Gavin Sheets vs. the Blue Jays The Padres entered the series finale with the Blue Jays as losers of their last five, as well as the recipients of a 14-0 drubbing at the hands of Toronto the previous game. Padres first baseman Gavin Sheets did his best to make sure there wasn't a repeat of those events, as he went deep in the top of the second with a two-run shot to put San Diego up 2-0 … … and then tied it up 4-4 in the ninth with a second two-run blast: Both times, it was center fielder Jackson Merrill on base for Sheets to drive in, and good thing, too, because the Padres couldn't seem to get anything else going outside of a double by Luis Arraez; he was stranded, however. Sheets would once again come to the rescue in extra innings. With the score tied 5-5 in the top of the 11th, he'd single on a line drive to center, scoring someone besides Merrill — Manny Machado. Alas, it was not to be for the Padres, despite Sheets' many efforts. The Jays would score two in the bottom of the 11th, with Daulton Varsho hitting a game-tying triple and then scoring on a Nathan Lukes' single. "A" for effort for the Padres' first baseman, though. Sadly, effort is not the same thing as a win, so San Diego has now dropped six in a row. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

OHS junior places 3rd in UIL Spelling and Vocabulary contest
May 22—Shijay Sivakumar, the middle school spelling whiz who made the Scripps National Spelling Bee, is now at Odessa High School and placed third in the state UIL Spelling and Vocabulary contest earlier this week in Austin. Javier Ruiz, who teaches English 4 (seniors) and coaches Academic Decathlon and UIL Spelling at OHS, said Sivakumar is an amazing young man. "He handles his rigorous school load plus devotes time to band and UIL. He is very talented! I hope we get to work together again next year!" Ruiz said. This was Sivakumar's first time making state in the contest and he said his spelling bee preparation in middle school helped him get there. "It was just something for me to ... exercise my interest with spelling," said Sivakumar, now 17. He added that he didn't know about the UIL Spelling and Vocabulary contest previously. "But through high school, I just found out about it, and I started competing," Sivakumar said. According to the UIL website, each year, the UIL Spelling and Vocabulary Contest is based on a different vocabulary list provided by UIL and consists of a three-part test. Part I: A fifteen-minute section of 30 multiple-choice items focused on vocabulary and proofreading. Part II and III: The hand-written spelling of 70 words pronounced aloud to contestants, as well as a tiebreaker section of 20 additional pronounced words, the site detailed. Sivakumar, who will be a senior next year, added that he is pleased with how he did. He added that Ruiz helped him and set everything up. "He told me that he hadn't gone to state in 20 years doing this, and no one ever from the school has made state. So I told myself, okay, I'm going to be the first. And I told myself, I was going to put OHS on the map and do it for him, try and make state, and I did that, so I'm glad, and I also medaled at state, so I'm pretty satisfied," Sivakumar said. Sivakumar is in the International Baccalaureate program at OHS. "I love the IB program. Actually, my friends, we've all gotten super close through the IB program, all of us having the same classes together. ... I couldn't do it without ... my friends and teachers. They've been my biggest supporters throughout everything this year," he added. He said preparing for these contests teaches you a lot of discipline and work ethic. He could try the contest again next year, but he's not sure if he'll have the time with all his IB exams. "I'm going to ponder it (and) see if I have the time to do it before making a decision on that," Sivakumar said. The competition was held at UT Austin and he had a really good time touring the campus so he hopes to go there, Harvard or Brown in no particular order. His sister Shreeya, an eighth grader at the Young Women's Leadership Academy, will be competing in the Scripps bee next week in Washington, D.C. The competition starts May 27. Sivakumar wanted to make a shout-out to her, sending his support and hoping she does "the best she can." He also thanked Ruiz. "He's been ... a big help with all the travel and logistics. I'm glad I was able to make state for him, and I wanted to shout out the IB program. They've helped me so much. My friends and teachers, honestly, I couldn't do any of this without them. (I'm) just so blessed to have all of them in my life," Sivakumar said.

Nationals' Keibert Ruiz makes parents proud with game-changing RBI double in their first live MLB game
It was more than just a baseball game—it was a dream finally realized for Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz and his family. On Thursday night, Ruiz turned a routine at-bat into a deeply personal moment when he delivered a scorching RBI double off the right-field wall against the Atlanta Braves. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now What made it unforgettable wasn't just the hit—it was who was watching. Keibert Ruiz shines with clutch RBI double in special MLB debut in front of his emotional parents For the first time in his Major League career, Keibert Ruiz's parents were in the stands to see their son play. The 26-year-old Venezuelan, who debuted in 2020 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, had already appeared in 449 games across seasons, but none had included the presence of his mother and father. Thursday's game, his 450th, was different. Ruiz wasted no time making it special. Stepping up in the first inning, he connected solidly on a pitch and sent the ball rocketing toward the outfield fence. As it bounced off the wall and brought a runner home, Ruiz glanced into the stands. His reaction was immediate and heartfelt—he turned to wave at his parents, who were caught in a moment of pure joy. His mother, unable to contain her excitement, had recorded the entire at-bat on her phone. Their cheers, captured on video and echoed through the ballpark, turned the hit into a memory far bigger than a box score statistic. Ruiz's journey from Venezuela to the majors has been marked by steady growth, and Thursday night added an emotional highlight that even a home run couldn't top. For fans and families alike, it served as a reminder of the human side of the game—of the years of sacrifice, the miles traveled, and the pride that fills a parent's heart when they finally see their child's dream take shape under stadium lights. Moments like these don't show up in stat sheets, but they stay with us forever. Also Read:
