Ali Boone (@smokedlacehair) of Hair Klaudt, Charlotte, North Carolina, says "My clientele literally popped up over night with the help of Instagram and other social media. I found my passion for hair all over again and love every second of my job. As much as I love doing all types of color, the super bright, funky, edgy colors is what I love the most. I feel I have so much creative freedom with it and it is my art form."

Well, MODERN found her on Instagram as well. This neon transformation really took us by surprise. We asked for details and she shares:

Concerning the bat tattoo, Boone adds "She got the bat because they are her favorite animal. She wanted something hard core but still a little girly. Tom (@uglytom) at 510 Expert Tattoo in Noda (Charlotte, NC) tattooed it for her."
