You follow @modernsalon on Instagram for all the features we do of the gorgeous transformational work shared with us using #modernsalon—but ALSO for our #modernsalon contests! We're loving how much YOU love these contests—every time we host a contest, we get thousands of entries... and the only prize? A feature on our @modernsalon page. But as anyone who has ever been featured by MODERN knows, this feature goes a long way—with nearly 800,000 @modernsalon Instagram followers seeing your work, YOU'RE guaranteed new followers of your own and, ultimately, new clients.

Any time we're "playing," we love featuring different themes: #playingwithpink, #playingwithsilver, #playingwithblue, you name it. But hands down, the color theme day that gets the most attention is when we're #playingwithpurple. The entries are INSANE. So beautiful, so full of talent and skill, which makes the contest so. hard. to. judge. Somehow, we pull it off (it takes a village, though. Lots of late-night texting and dueling over favorites). Here are some of our favorite #modernsalon #playingwithpurple entries.
