➻alan randalld{ALOXXI} was a fresh Aveda Institute grad when he landed a job as a stylist at The Salon in Ames, Iowa, and began working for a tool company. Three years later he started using Aloxxi products, and his hair artistry truly kicked in. So much so, in fact, that for the past two years, Alan has been creating stunning looks with the Aloxxi team
at hair shows across the United States. Perhaps when you’ve spent your life sporting a thick crop of russet-hued hair, you understand how hair color turns heads. We can’t wait to see what his future holds.

We’ve been on the lookout
all year for up-and-coming young colorists age 30 and under, who have what it takes to make it to the top. Think of them as the next generation of gifted colorists with as much passion as Chrystofer Benson, John Simpson or Fabio Sementilli, and join us in congratulating them for being singled out by salon owners and manufacturers, who recognize talent when they see it.
list of hot
young talent
➻jessica nelson j {WELLA PROFESSIONALS}began working for Mario Tricoci in Chicago 10 years ago. Since
then she’s become a Future Professional Educator and an
Advance Skills Educator with the company. “I love color and
feel so incredibly blessed that I’ve found a career that resonates
with me,” says Jessica, who is a member of Cosmetologists
Chicago. Being open to change is key for this gifted colorist,
who is convinced that if you close yourself off you stop growing
and your art dies. Grateful for the mentors in her life, Jessica
believes that becoming an educator herself is a way to pay it
forward. “The meaning of life is to f nd your gift. The purpose of
life is to give it away,” she says, paraphrasing Pablo Picasso.

➻renee valerie wilson l{TIGI} was nominated by TIGI’s Richy Kandasamy.
U.S. Technical Creative Director at TIGI, so
we knew she had to have some serious hair
color chops. Based in New York City, Renee
is a TIGI Talent Colour Educator, which
means she travels all over the country
doing shows and platform work for the
company. Since starting her career in
Sydney, Australia, Renee has had her work
published in magazines like Oyster, Culture
and Hairdresser’s Journal. Now she can add
T e Colorist to her résumé.
➻alessandra marie minardi, h
{WELLA PROFESSIONALS, BETH MINARDI SIGNATURE SHADES AND REDKEN}
has a pedigree most colorists would kill for—her Aunt Beth is none other
than legendary colorist Beth Minardi. “Growing up, we always talked
about fashion, art, books and hair color,” says Allesandra, who is also
inspired by her father, Salvatore Minardi, who owns an eponymous
salon in Madison, New Jersey, where she works. “He taught me to stay
humble because hair color is always evolving.” Her passion for hair color
may come naturally, but Alessandra understands that there is always
something else to learn. “I am intrigued by color formulations and new
methods of application,” she says. “When I color, I don’t go against the
hair, I go with it. I let it speak to me.” Sounds like she’s onto something.
➻sara embry l {AVEDA}is fortunate enough to work at Jackson Ruiz Salon in Austin,
Texas, where her boss is none other than NAHA winner and
Aveda Global Artistic Director, Hair Styling, Allen Ruiz. While
working at the salon, Sara was a member of the winning NAHA team of 2011, and has
worked onstage at Aveda’s Tuff Love Miami and Aveda
Congress 2013. “Creating art with hair color is my passion,”
she says. “I love helping people feel conf dent and
beautiful with fresh new color.”

➻vanessa orozco k {ARTEASECOLORS} has assisted Gerd Hoher,
president of Arteasecolors, on a number of occasions, and his faith in her has not
been misplaced. “I’ve learned more than I could have imagined from Gerd,” says
Vanessa, who works at Hidden Hairpin in San Pedro, California. The payoff for being a
colorist? “To see how even a small change can make your clients so happy,” she says.
➻ciara ciprianos {KERATIN COMPLEX} is lucky enough to be Deb Gavin’s protégé at Fresh Hair Studio in Southampton, Pennsylvania. “She taught me some of my toughest lessons and has helped me work toward my greatest successes,” she says. Gavin’s best advice? “Once you touch it, you own it,” says Ciara, who plans to combine her college degree and the knowledge she’s gained working behind the chair to elevate the experience of hair color nationwide.
➻amy niles, l
{WELLA PROFESSIONALS, KERATIN COMPLEX} knew she’d be a colorist at Mario Tricoci
in Chicago before she ever started
beauty school. “Painting and artistry
is something that’s been in my family
for generations,” says Amy, who
believes that education is the key
to success. To that end, she now
educates future colorists at Mario
Tricoci in a weekly class setting and
has been certifi ed to educate for Wella
Professionals and Keratin Complex. MEMBER OF
COSMETOLOGISTS
CHICAGO
➻madison loren d {WELLA PROFESSIONALS}
was nominated by Ginger Boyle, who knows a thing or two about f nding and
developing raw talent. “I hire handfuls, and
Madison was a handful at f rst,” says Boyle,
who hired Madison right out of Paul Mitchell The School. “She’s def nitely
been a challenge, but she’s a natural, who has an exciting career ahead
of her.” Case in point: Recently Lisa Shriver-
Brooks, who owns DIVA Studio in Las Vegas,
visited Planet Salon and couldn’t take her eyes
off Madison. Says Boyle, “She has a lot of ability.”

➻rhiannon scwind
d {OYA} came to Blaze
Salon in Coralville, Iowa,
straight out of beauty school.
Right away, her unrelenting
work ethic opened doors for
her, and she began attending
workshops with industry
greats like Geno Stampora
and Candy Shaw Codner.
Having attained master
status, Rhiannon has raised
the bar for all who work for
her, providing the support
they need to achieve their
own goals. T ree days a
week she conducts training
sessions in cut and color,
spending afternoons and
weekends doing what she
loves best: working behind
the chair at the salon where
she follows her passion for
hair color.

National Studio Artist for Keune Haircosmetics, having joined the company as one of their
regional artists in 2007. In 2012 she became part of Keune’s
National Color Team and began traveling the country teaching color at distributor events and

Remember her name. You’ll be hearing it a lot from now on.
➻molly trementek {GOLDWELL} is a colorist at
Plush Hair Studio in Glenville, New York, where she is a Goldwell Color Specialist and Ambassador. “I love
the artistic freedom during the coloring process that allows you to customize formulas and application
techniques to your canvas,” she says. “The possibilities
are endless.” Molly has been lucky enough to work with Goldwell’s John Simpson,
Rebecca Hiele, Nick Pagano and Dimitrios Tsioumas. “They’ve been such an
inspiration to me,” she says.
➻jessica lewis, ;
{MATRIX} is the owner
of Symmetry Hair
Designs in Belleview,
Florida, and names
Matrix Artistic
Director Chrystofer
Benson as one of
her mentors. “His
color is like nothing
you’ve ever seen
before,” she says.
As an educator she
loves watching her
students experience
“aha” moments. “We
have the greatest
career in the world,”
says Jessica, who
was inspired by
something she read
by motivational
speaker Michael
Cole. “He said that
nothing aff ects
a human being’s
mental health more
than their self-
image, and nothing
aff ects a human
being’s self-image
more than their hair.”
I think we can all
agree with that.

➻joey hooten l {AVEDA} works at Van Michael Salon in Atlanta, Georgia.

Recently she assisted Geneva Cowen, Sam Villa’s Artistic Director, at a photo shoot. “As both a colorist and a designer, I have come to realize how every piece has to be f nely tuned to f t a bigger concept,” she says. “Training your eye to see what the camera sees is invaluable.”
➻elle duerr l{MATRIX}
works at Archer Salon in
San Francisco, California,
where her title is Chemistry
Director. “I am a true, to-
the-core Logics pure tone
colorist,” says Elle, who
feels she’s working in light
refl ection rather than color.
A Matrix CRAFT Certifi ed
Color Master, she has
learned a lot from Matrix
artists like Dan Csicsai and
Chrystofer Benson, who
have had a huge infl uence
on the way she works.
➻mary sutcliffel�{BROCATO HAIR COLOR,

industry legend Sam Brocato
at his namesake salon in New
York City, where she received
a People’s Choice Award. As an

that blew my mind,” she says.

inspiring to me,”
she says—Shawnee

The f rst person to teach
her about hair color
was her mother, Cynthia

her as a mentor and a
parent, there is no way
I would be where I am
today,” Rosa says. So
what drives her passion
for color? “Making
someone feel amazing
by changing their hair
color, be it a subtle
change or a complete
transformation.” Now
that’s something
all colorists have in
common.
