The MODERN SALON 100 of 2024 – Stylist Spotlight





Our MODERN SALON 100 is always a diverse group of beauty professionals, representing a variety of specialties, experience, and followings. Compiling it is a group effort that represents input from our entire MODERN SALON team.

This year, in honor of 100 years of MODERN SALON (which launched in 1924), and our focus on the future of the industry, we did something a little different. A group of our honorees are either cosmetology students or very recent graduates, and 10 of our honorees are alumni of previous MS100 lists. In this way, we spotlight these established veterans as examples of beauty excellence to aspire to, and the next generation of rising new talent we can all be cheering on.  

We know there are millions of amazing beauty professionals who we haven’t discovered yet, and it is our privilege to always be on the lookout.

Thank you for the honor of celebrating you.
