2017 MODERN SALON 100: Jennifer Malone @jmalonehair

by Jamie Newman

Jennifer Malone is one of those social-media personas you can just tell is someone you'd want to be your friend. We first posted Malone's work on our site last year, and from then on it has been a love-fest of us commenting on each other's pages, congratulating one another on milestones, and sliding into DMs. Check out one of our favorite people to fangirl over, including some of the most gaga-worthy balayge we've seen.

2017 MODERN SALON 100: Robin Del Toro @ms_robinita

by Jamie Newman

Robin Del Toro's page is as bright, beautiful and bubbly as the artist herself. Specializing in balayage, corrective color and vibrants, Del Toro's gorgeous work is frequently shared on our page due to its eye-catching color combos, fun takes on accessories and styles (hello, foil in hair!), and clean or blurred-out backgrounds.

2017 MODERN SALON 100: Zachary Dillon Mesquit @platinum_perfection

by Jamie Newman

Zachary Dillon Mesquit created his own hashtag called #BleachItAgain. His page makes you want to push the envelope and take that level 9 client to a 10, and then take her even beyond that! In Mequit's work, platinum isn't light and bright enough! His page is a mix of perfect icy blonde hair and his hilarious personality. It really doesn't get better than that!

2017 MODERN SALON 100: Lo Wheeler @lo_wheelerdavis

by Jamie Newman

Known for her beachy blonde color looks, Lo Wheeler is not only a colorist, but she's a salon owner and social-media maven. What catches our eye about her page is how she makes her clients a character in her color story, putting boho, sun-drenched beach waves in a scene you would imagine them in—on a wicker chair, in the midst of tropical greenery, or next to a cactus—all kissed by natural lighting.
