15 Stylists I Always Insta-Stalk for Hair Color Inspo

Disclaimer: I don’t condone actual stalking. But in the context of my favorite hair color Instagram accounts, what I mean by insta-stalking is simply checking in on a regular basis for inspiration. Harmless, right? Back in the day, I remember going to the hair salon and flipping through actual magazines (remember those?!) for hair color ideas. And though that old school route is still an option–with dusty covers included–I like any other millennial would rather scroll the ‘Gram instead.

When I’m contemplating something as transformative and labor-heavy as a dye job, my penchant for needing to see each and every option before making a decision kicks in. I need to not only screenshot some of my favorite celeb looks for reference and drop them in my group chat for feedback. There’s also the hundreds upon hundreds of stylists who constantly post before-and-afters, tutorials and/or product recommendations that keep me in a perpetual state of blissful confusion. Do I go lighter? Do I go darker? Should I just throw on a wig and call it a day?

I imagine it will take the rest of my life to create a complete rolodex of hair color pros that doesn’t make me like I’m missing out. So until that miracle actually occurs, here are 15 stylists that stay on my radar. Time to hit follow and set up those notifications.
