In an industry with so many options and opportunities, we asked artists what made them niche down and select a specialty. Amelia Fugitt (@ameliahairmakeup) says choosing to focus on transformations has transformed her career.
It’s often the risk-takers who are willing to reimagine the palette of options and pair combinations who create unassumingly beautiful results, and redefine how we see and experience the world around us.
Melissa (@melissameltss) and Gabby (@glam_by_gabbyy) worked to create this transformation in one day. The salon duo took their client from a deep brown, with some banding and also hair that had never been colored, to this bright blonde. They relied on some of their favorite products and plenty of time.
Ask any hairstylist if they are interested in making more money—while also giving clients the healthy hair of their dreams—and you’d have a resounding “yes.” But ask if they have an existing hair extension clientele and, unfortunately, you’d have more pros saying “no”.
