Amber Barazini
Radar Salon, San Diego
Specialty: Transformations, color corrections, blonding
Top-performing post: I think it went viral because of the impact of the actual before vs the after. You could feel her confidence coming through the after photo.
Favorite apps: SplitPic is great for side by side/before-and-afters, Perfect365 to smooth the client’s face if it’s showing in the photo, Videoshop to put together videos because it has all the tools of creating a cool video.
I follow: @isaac4mayor @jenatkinhair, @jackmartincolorist, @passionsquared, @presleypoe
Hidden talent: I am a makeup artist. I worked weddings, editorial photo shoots and did SpecialFX before working in the salon.
My audience follows me because: I’ve had people say they can feel my energy through my posts. I am consistent, I keep it down to earth and share valuable information with them.
How social media changed my life: I have had opportunities that probably wouldn’t have come up if not for social media. It pushes me to be a better artist because I am constantly seeing everyone else’s work. It allows me to stay connected with other stylists that I feel like I’ve known forever but only see at hair shows.
My first @modernsalon feature: The first time I remember being featured on MODERN SALON was when they came out with an article on the top 25 Money Pieces Worth Their Weight in Gold. I saw the message on Instagram that I was tagged in their stories, and I thought it had been a mistake. It was one of my first really good blonde shots so it felt really good that MODERN put it up next to all these other established, talented hairstylists.
