High-fashion meets everyday beauty on Kourosh’s page. How do these looks manage to give us both avant-garde vibes and completely casual vibes at the same time? All we can say is this is artistry at its finest. We are obsessed!

🍁Caramel Swirl Balayage 🍂 • • • Service: Balayage Look (7hrs) Lift: #oligo Extrablonde Tone: #shadeseq 8GI 8V 9AA Treat: #crystalcashmere treatment Style: #paishau Sublime Hold Hairspray

A post shared by Balayage | Los Angeles Hair (@ricardoalonsobeauty) on Oct 4, 2020 at 9:24am PDT

Have you ever seen a more perfect balayage? No brass, no spottiness, and perfect blends make his signature low-maintenance colors look high-maintenance, which is kind of the best combination. Who doesn’t want to look like they visit the salon monthly when they really only go once or twice a year? (Don’t worry, your secret is safe with us!)

Tropic Blush

Unloaded my dishwasher for the 5,783x this week. Second most frequent activity is binging Ozark & rewinding constantly after missing something important due to aimless Instagram scrolling 😅 What’s been your favorite pass-time during social distancing?

A post shared by Huong Lien (@tropicblush) on Apr 5, 2020 at 8:27pm PDT

Huong Lien uses pastel shades and soft lighting to give us all the clean beauty feels. Her aesthetic is so airy and relaxed that we could seriously look at it all day. Oh, and did we mention she’s an advocate for cruelty-free products?

Is romantic grunge a thing because if so then Alena Saz has got it nailed! Dark and moody meets light and feminine in these gorgeous editorial looks. It’s almost impossible not to be inspired by the awesome creativity Alena shows on her page. Her Instagram looks like an artist’s playground, and we love to see it!

It’s been in the 70’s for 3 days now in California… so you know that means, Pumpkin Spice, cute clothes, and yummy rich hair 🍂🍁

A post shared by Blonde Balayage Claremont Hair (@sarahdidmyhair) on Oct 10, 2020 at 8:17am PDT

Healthy hair is happy hair, right? We love these bright blondes and 100% appreciate that Sarah focuses on keeping the hair in good condition. Mixed in are also some seriously sassy fashion colors, and what can we say? Sarah’s page is honestly #HairGoals.
