For the past seven years, we have celebrated the industry's brightest young talent—and 2019 is no different. More than 4,000 young colorists submitted to become a 30 Under 30 colorist, and we're thrilled to celebrate the winners with you!
Amber Yancey, @adlydesign, is 28 years old and works at Salon 104 in Hendersonville, North Carolina. She's a fan of bright, rainbow hair colors—and so are her 29k followers!
Preferred color line: Pulp Riot
My goals: Become a Pulp Riot platform artist and educate with the brand internationally.
My favorite technique right now: Anything prism—halo, over-directed, single panel. I love how a simple change in the direction of the color placement can make color flow so differently from normal melts of rainbow hair.
Top color tip: Just remember, keep your head above the water! Oceans, pools and hot showers will fade hues, so clients should make dry shampoo their new best friend.
