2017 MODERN SALON 100: Hannah Edelman @hannahthepainter
It's a dream situation for a stylist on Instagram for a creation to go viral, especially for a 20-something-year-old stylist. Hannah Edelman's chocolate mauve color creation blew up all over the internet, making its way to consumer-publication pages as the IT color for spring, even inspiring Selena Gomez to mix some dusty pink into her chocolate locks. Get to know Edelman here.
