Jordan Northey specializes in beachy, sun-kissed hair on everyone from blondes, to brunettes and reds, to his own niece (find the post on his page, it's one of our faves!) And you know to trust a stylist when their perfectly lightened tresses are as awesome as the color looks they create.

2017 MODERN SALON 100: Lindsey Britton Little @bangbangbalayage

What's better than a page of beautiful blondes? A page of beautiful blondes with pops of bright, vibrant color, of course! Lindsey Britton Little is known for both, and when you look at her page @bangbangbalayage you'll see why.

2017 MODERN SALON 100: Amy Conley McManus @camouflageandbalayage

Say hello to crisp, beautiful balayage! Amy Conley McManus posts a plethora of perfectly lightened hair in clean, mostly naturally lit photos. We especially love her before-and-after photos and images showing the placement of lightener, followed by an always-lovely finish.

No stranger to her work gracing @modernsalon's page (or the cover of our magazine and supplements), Sarah Mac's page, @thespiritualhairdresser, mixes good-for-the-soul hair and motivation while giving an inside look into her own life.

With just shy of 1,300 followers on Instagram, we know Alexandra Wilson (@alexandralee1016) has big things in store. The XXX-based stylist would be a huge asset to any bride on her big day; Wilson's braiding, updos and styling are beautiful, precise and trend-forward.

2017 MODERN SALON 100: Krystle Waivio @krystlewaiviohair

Krystle Waivio (@krystlewaiviohair) first caught our attention when she won our Wedding Party Wednesday contest on Instagram with a beautiful fishtail braid upstyle in September 2016. That same style also got her into the top 10 semifinalists of our Braids & Brides styling competition at the beginning of 2017.

2017 MODERN SALON 100: Lo Wheeler @lo_wheelerdavis

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.
