MODERN SALON has been following New Hampshire stylist Stephanie Lawrence (@hair_princess_steph) for a long time — and with just a quick look at her Instagram page it'll be pretty obvious why we chose her to be included in this year's MODERN SALON 100.
If you've ever watched a livestream or Instagram Story by Philip Ring (@phildoeshair), there's zero question why he's on the MODERN SALON 100 list. His humor, his artistic talent and his passion for beauty make this Rhode Island stylist a must-follow.
New York City-based stylist Daryce Brown-Willis is a master texture manipulator. We love her page for her half-head examples of what happens when #hairdressermagic and natural hair combine forces.
We follow texture expert Rachael Urrico (@rachael_devacurl) because her posts that feature naturally curly hair with pintura highlighting techniques are so, so gorgeous. See more about why she made the MODERN SALON 100 list.
Seamless color melts, beautiful open-air hair painting and less-is-more techniques make New Jersey colorist Gina Devine's Instagram page @gina.devine one to check out.
Chicagoan Annette Waligora (@annette_updo_artist) has long been a favorite of MODERN SALON editors for her trend-forward, thoughtful upstyles and braids. As part of MODERN SALON's Artist Collective, you've probably seen her at the MODERN offices doing live tutorials and giving styling tips and tricks.
Obsessed with balayage and braiding? Yeah, we are too. That's why MODERN follows Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, stylist Shelby Weatherholtz (@shelbyweatherholtzhair) — beautiful bridal styles with incredible color effects.
Boston-based Stephanie Geib (@hairbystephscissorhands) is known for her picture-perfect vibrant color effects and braiding techniques.
North-Florida-based Sarajane Maples Buttner (@blushandmane) is known for her romantic, effortless-looking updos and beautiful makeup skills.
