We met Amy Chen (@amyrunswithscissors) while we were covering a class in Los Angeles and have been following her ever since. Chen specializes in both color and cutting, creating a unique look tailored to each client that sits in her chair.

Pro tip: Taking clear shot of the hair; focus on hair styling.

Hidden talent: I have an eye for the individuality of each client.

My audience follows me because: I think it’s fun to see different artists work, so hopefully mine inspires people along the way.

How social media changed my life: It enables me to stay current with trend and constantly learning without taking time off of work and seeing inspirational work around the world without leaving the salon/house.

My first @modernsalon feature: It is also my most engaged post—subtle highlights I did for a client after her first visit, which was more than six months before.
