Narrator: Hairstylists across the US have been using vivid hair dyes on clients to create unique looks like rainbow underlights, rainbow roots, vivid locs, and pastel-colored hair. Here are 24 of the best vivid hairstylists across the country and their colorful creations.

Leysa Carrillo is a hairstylist and educator based in Las Vegas who's been working in the industry for 12 years. She's an expert when it comes to cutting, coloring, and styling curly hair. When working with curls, Leysa determines the curl pattern, elasticity, and texture of the hair before coloring. The hair dye she uses is ammonia-free, so that keeps the curls from being damaged. She currently travels around the country to teach other hairstylists how to work with curly hair textures.

Shelley Gregory is also a Las Vegas hairstylist. She's been doing hair for over 15 years. She specializes in pastel colors, which are a lot softer and can be more approachable for people to wear. To achieve pastel colors, Shelley starts with the lightest-level blond, level 10 or over. She's also mindful of any yellow left in the hair when adding the cooler tones. Shelley gives clients a list of do's and don'ts to preserve their color, like limiting washes and replacing conditioner with a hair mask.

Cynthia Lumzy is a hairstylist and wig designer in Chicago who's been doing hair for over 16 years. Her primary focus is wig coloring and design, both with natural looks and creative colors. To get the best wig, Cynthia and a client start with a consultation to determine the design and style. As Cynthia is designing and coloring the wig, she sends her clients picture and video updates of the wig. Every wig is tailored for each client, so no two wigs will look the same. The customization process starts online on Cynthia's website.

Julius Cvesar is a barber and platform artist who owns All Hail studio in Los Angeles. He started cutting his family's hair when he was 13 years old to help save money, and now he's been in the industry for about 18 years. He's most known for his precision men's hairstyles and custom hair-color services. When it comes to vivid designs, Julius draws inspiration from contemporary visual art, runway collections, wildlife, and each client's personality. He hand-paints each piece without using stencils, sponges, or stamps. To create some of his vivid designs, he draws on his experiences of painting when he was younger, getting tattoos, and getting his own hair colored by his favorite artists. Although he's only been doing hair color for less than a year, he has been able to create hairstyles for artists including YG and Mustard.

Tushiyah Yisrael is a master loctician located in Raleigh, North Carolina, who's been in the industry since 2014. Tushiyah specializes in loc extensions, reattachments, repairs, instant locs with natural hair, color correction, and wicks. To start a loc she takes a block of hair and coils it clockwise, reinforcing the natural flow of the hair. When coloring hair, she takes into consideration the hair's porosity, density, hydration, and scalp condition. To first lift to blond, she uses a lower-volume developer for a longer period of time and mixes in a hair protectant to strengthen the hair. She tones every step of the way to avoid having orange tones. Then she applies any vivid color. The locs are then retwisted and styled. She uses tensionless techniques and keeps in mind the scalp's pressure points to make sure she's styling without pulling on the hair. Tushiyah has had locs since she was 4 years old. Today, she's the owner of The Loc Lounge in Raleigh and continues to be an innovator and educator as a loctician in the beauty industry.

Ursula Goff is an artist, hair-color specialist, and owner of Karma salon in Wellington, Kansas, who's been doing hair for 18 years. She is a pro when it comes to using multiple colors to create holographic hair. To get the effect, Ursula uses a popular technique where she pulls forward each section of the hair while coloring the rainbow stripes. Once the hair falls back into its natural position, the stripes are softened and diffused, creating the holographic effect. She also likes to contrast colors on super-light and dark hair, like this rainbow checkered look on black hair and these rainbow roots on platinum hair.

Shatoyia Vandy Vanderhorst, who goes by Vandy, is a professional braider and content creator in Austin, Texas. She's been doing hair since she was a teenager as a hobby, so over 23 years. Vandy specializes in protective styles for natural hair. Her most popular requests include box braids, knotless braids, twists, crochet, locs, and cornrows. When braiding hair, she starts with prepping the hair first by washing, conditioning, and detangling. The hair is then dried, deep-conditioned if needed, and moisturized with natural oils. She'll use a feed-in technique, where the hair extensions are fed into each braid near the root. Vandy taught herself how to do braids and would practice on her friends growing up. When she moved to Austin in 2014, there were very few stylists who specialized in natural hair and braiding in her area. Women would approach her asking about her hair and if she would do theirs, and she quickly built up her clientele. She started Braid School on her YouTube page, where she teaches the fundamentals of braiding to her audience.

Dara Quick is a creative color specialist in New Orleans and owner of She Comes in Peace salon. She's been a hairstylist for 13 years and decided to make the career switch after losing everything during Hurricane Katrina. She specializes in creating drawings and illustrations on hair. Dara uses stencils for some of her designs. She and her clients work together to make sure the designs and colors are perfect before creating the stencil and applying the color. Her entire salon is space themed and includes a costume and hair shop inside. Her main mission with her salon was to create a safe and inclusive space for everybody.

Taylor Rae is a color specialist and owner of Taylor Rae Hair Studio in Denver. She's been in the hair industry for 12 years and is a pro when it comes to vibrant rainbow hair. Taylor uses Pravana vivids for her looks because they're highly pigmented and long-lasting. Creating rainbow hair can sometimes be more difficult and time-consuming than dyeing it one color. She always takes color theory into account when determining which colors will blend together well and which ones won't. For example, she won't use purple and orange together, because the blend might look a bit muddy. But if she adds pink in between the two colors, it'll create a nice sunsetty mix. Taylor has fun with application techniques, like this drip color method where she pours the dye over the surface of the hair, creating this melted color look.

Oluchi Zelda Opara is a licensed cosmetologist and owner of Prana for Hair in Chicago. She's been in the hair industry for over 16 years. She primarily styles natural textured hair on clients who have short hair or wear relaxers. One of the main things Zelda keeps in mind when working with natural hair is the client's personal hair journey, especially with straighteners. She always makes sure the hair is hydrated to keep the natural and multi-textural curls intact. When it comes to vivids, she pre-lightens the hair using low-level developers for longer periods of time. She custom-mixes different colors to reach her desired shade. Then, Zelda heavily saturates the vivid hair color during processing. She does this because textured hair has many cuticle layers, so she wants to make sure she's dyeing the hair past the first layer. One of Zelda's biggest tips to styling is to consider everything about the client, including their job, family, religion, and lifestyle.

Kayla Boyer is a hairstylist and salon owner in Minneapolis who's been in the hair game for eight years. She's best known for her super-bright vivid hair coloring and has created countless vivids on herself. Getting a client's hair to the best vivid might require a few sessions based on how much she has to pre-lighten the hair. To keep vivids as bright and vibrant as possible, she recommends using color-protective shampoos and conditioners, washing with cold water, and using shampoo minimally. Typically her vivids can last about six weeks with proper care.

Shannon Romano is a hairstylist in Syracuse, New York, who creates masterpieces on hair. She's been a hairstylist for 20 years, but only in the past couple of years she started creating art on hair. Most of her creations are done on wigs or on hair pieces that she sews herself. Shannon uses tiny paintbrushes, direct dyes, permanent hair color, and sometimes acrylic and body paint to complete the entire look. Some of her most challenging pieces include painting faces, fine lines, and multiple layers of color. Shannon spends a lot of time planning and prepping the look so the painting doesn't get lost when the hair moves. The work can take a few hours to as long as a week to complete, but the final results are worth it.

Cicely Wagner has been doing hair for over a decade. She uses creative color to make intricate designs on wavy, straight, and curly hair. Cicely loves to work with contrasting colors, like applying yellows and blues together without the green in between. For this creation, she used the colors of a koi fish as inspiration for the client's color. When doing the same style on curly hair, she typically colors larger sections so the color variations are more apparent.

Ruby Devine is a hairstylist and salon owner of The Laboratory in Alexandria, Virginia. She's been a hairstylist for 20 years and is a pro when it comes to underlights, which is when color is placed in the interior of the hair. It's a style that allows clients to have their creative color but also cover it up easily. Ruby has been doing underlights since 2014 and believes they became so popular because of how low-commitment they are and because clients can also wait longer to get their hair done between appointments. Typically a single color can take about two hours. However, for a more complex rainbow look, that can take about nine hours.

Kimberly Taylor Ibbotson is a creative colorist and wig specialist in LA. She's been in the hair industry for nine years. When creating vivids, Kimberly carefully applies and blends the colors for a seamless color transition, like this sunsetty look and these buzzcut designs. Coloring wigs can sometimes be a bit more tedious than a client's hair because Kimberly has to be mindful to not stain the lace and spends more time saturating and blending the colors, depending on the wig's texture.

Stephan Swearingen, also known as Step the Barber, is the owner of Plush Midtown in Atlanta and the founder of hair-care brand Kinks & Coils. He started barbering 15 years ago after practicing it as a hobby in his parent's garage. Clients come to him for his signature "one-day platinum blond" technique, but he can take it a step further with his creative color looks. Step evaluates the health and strength of the client's hair, from processing history such as previous bleaching or relaxers to preexisting scalp and hair conditions. He does this to make sure the hair is safe to color. One of his most challenging hairstyles is the shooting heart he created for Valentine's Day, because he had to make sure the red dye didn't bleed into the platinum-blond hair.

Linh Phan has been a hairstylist for the past 12 years and is the founder of Bescene Studios in Rockville, Maryland, and PhanHaus Education. When coloring hair, he uses a technique called sectioning to add dimension throughout the hair colors and highlight different sections of the hair. It can be as simple as a split separation or as complex as this heart-shaped sectioning and star sectioning to add contrast and separation to the hair colors. Clients also come to him to get his signature vivid lob cuts.

Ash Fortis is the owner of XO Hair Lab in Chesapeake, Virginia, and has been a hairstylist for 10 years. She's a Pulp Riot platform artist and heavily contributed to the creation of the hair-color company. Ash is one of the go-to vivid influencers in the industry. She uses a coloring style called light sourcing, where she places a lighter color shade around the face and nape of the head that melts into a darker shade at the crown of the head. A few years ago, she went viral for her water-marbling technique, where she added drops of color to shaving cream, swirled them into a pattern, and transferred the color onto hair.

Jessica Kiyomi owns her own studio in Oakland, California, and she's been the hairstylist for the NBA Golden State Warriors dance team for the past eight seasons. Throughout her career, she's perfected a natural low-maintenance hair color, including balayage on all hair types, and she's mastered creative colors on different hair textures.

Chelsea Greene is a hairstylist in Wichita, Kansas, who's been doing hair for about a decade. About 70% of her clients come to her for rainbow colors, and some of her most popular designs are vivid undercuts, which can take three to 10 hours. She starts by sketching the design on paper. Once the hair is lightened, if the design is complex, Chelsea will use a dry-erase marker to draw on the hair before trimming the hair and applying the color. She applies using small paintbrushes and washes with cold water to prevent the colors from bleeding into one another. She enjoys recreating semi-realistic paintings and geometric creations.

Andrew and Kat Collett are both artists and salon owners of With Love Salon in Kansas City, Missouri. They like to get creative with their vivid applications, like their viral creation, the Splash Kaleidoscope, where they use water guns to apply the vivid colors. This technique lays the color down in sporadic stripes, and when the colors blend together, they create a shattered kaleidoscope look.

Melody and Michael Lowenstein are the owners of Ross Michaels Salon in Bremerton, Washington. Clients come to them for platinum, pastel, and metallic hair transformations. To achieve these icy vivids, the most important aspect is getting the hair light enough. For Melody and Michael, that's getting the hair to a level 10 platinum blond before applying any color. They always pre-tone the hair when it comes to lavenders and blues and typically do not pre-tone when using warmer tones like peaches and yellow.

Presley Poe is a hairstylist in Portland, Oregon, who's been in the beauty industry for over 19 years. She specializes in both creative and natural colors. Some of her most breathtaking creations are these bright monochromatic colors. In many cases, she's working with pre-dyed hair and has to create several formulas to get an even tone throughout the hair. Any flaws in the color saturation will stand out. Presley is also skilled in color-correcting hair, like transforming this dark blue hair into a fiery red.

Bianca Rose is a salon owner and 12-year hairstylist in Cincinnati, Ohio. She likes to create bold looks with her vivids, like confetti-colored roots that melt into platinum-blond hair. Her creations include this tie-dye design on a buzzcut, where she used a sponge instead of a brush to apply the color. She found sponges to be more absorbent than brushes, so they'd end up with the perfect amount of color for application and were overall less messy.
