Best Stylists + Salons to Follow on Instagram and TikTok
Jayne Edo Salon (@jayne_edosalon)
If you havenât come across Jayne Edo yet, youâre in for a treat.
Edoâs approach to cuts (all razor cut, done by hand, imperfectly perfect) has quickly inspired a cult following on the West Coast â so much so that she now travels around the U.S. doing pop-ups and training sessions.
Many women wait a full year to see her and only her. Worth a follow to see what tresses are trending in California and to watch some video tutorials on cuts that grow out as beautifully as they look on day one.Â
Jenny Cho (@jennychohair)
Hairstylist Jenny Cho has quite the reputation with a ton of A-list celebrities. Jennifer Lawrence, Amanda Seyfriend, and Scarlett Johannson all call on Jenny for their hair styling needs.
Salon Evo (@salonevomag)
Sound familiar? It should! From the creators of @barberevo, Salon Evo brings you hair, nails, beauty, and male grooming. All five issues have been fire, and we canât wait for more.Â
Lacy Redway (@lacyredway)
Lacy was named one of the worldâs most inventive hairstylists according to Goop, and we couldnât agree more. Sheâs an expert on textured and relaxed hair, and her work has been featured on the cover of multiple magazines, from Essence, to Elle, and Marie Claire.

Salon Benjamin (@salonbenjamin)
This LA-based salon chain employs some of the best stylists in the city â meaning that following this feed will get you instant access to all of them. We also love the mix of salon cuts and high fashion and commercial styling.
Jen Atkin (@jenatkinhair)
The go-to hairstylist for influencers, from the Kardashians to Hailey Bieber, Jen Atkin has a ton of great content on TikTok. Covering everything from curtain bang styles to six-minute hairdos, you’re certain to learn a thing or two from Jen.
Leysa Carillo Forever Curls (@leysahairandmakeup)
If youâve been blessed with curly hair, you probably also know that until recently, itâs been near-impossible to find inspiration for textured styles.
Over the last few years, more and more stylists have arrived on the scene determined to change that.
Leysa Carillo is one of our current (and all-time) favorites.

Kia Fay (@kiathecurlconsultant)
This stylist is changing the game. As an educator, hair stylist, and natural texture advocate, she posts about all things curls! Including how to take care of them, how to embrace your natural texture, and creating conversations to uplift traditionally marginalized voices within the hair industry.
Elizabeth Faye (@heyelizabethfaye and @hairloveretreat)
We canât get enough of Elizabeth Fayeâs rose-colored feed or her insightful and inclusive thoughts about the hair industry. Her larger-than-life personality is exactly what youâll find in her Instagram feed. She keeps it real, and itâs the breath of fresh air we all need.Â
Katie Pattison (@katiepdxhair)
Next stop on this national stylist tour: Portland, Oregon. Katie Pattinson isnât afraid of razor-sharp mullet or using Black Sabbath as inspiration for the perfect shag. We love all the vintage icon inspiration in general as well as the warm Northwest vibes.Â

Streicher Hair (@streicherhair)
The Streicher sisters are basically celebrities in Los Angeles, courtesy of a) their incredible microblading skills and b) the fact that they introduced the natural perm wave, which promptly blew up our Instagram feeds.
So, itâs no surprise that Ashley Streicher, the hair stylist sister, also creates some of the most exciting cuts happening right now.
Guido Palau (@guidopalau)
We love the throwback vibes of this Instagram account, which belongs to the Global Creative Director for Redken, Guido Palau. It feels like youâre about to unearth a long-lost treasure. We love a little vintage inspiration for new hair styles, donât you?
Anh Co Tran (@anhcotran)
Blunt cuts, lived-in waves â could there be anything more timeless?
Roxie Jane Hunt (@roxiejanehunt)
Donât you love a stylist who isnât afraid to rebel a little?
Seattle-based Roxie Jane Hunt loves to push beyond the standard styles dominating stylistsâ Instagram feeds right now thanks to the technicolor styles that dominate her feed and her signature hashtag #FreeYourHair.
Despite some wilder cuts and colors, her style is completely accessible and instantly lovable â itâs crazy how much her feed will remind you of the type of cuts or colors you dreamed of trying at 15âŠbut grown-up.

Lo Shabino (@classiclois_hairstylist)
In case youâre wondering what styles are dominating in Austin, Texas, Lo Shabino has you covered. We canât say weâre surprised that Patti Smith-style shags are the go-to in one of the biggest music cities â but weâre not mad about it, either.
Enjoy Co. Hair Studio (@enjoyco.collective)
Also in Portland, Enjoy Co. Hair Studio is the salon to follow on Instagram if youâre feeling like youâve seen one too many â70s looks in the last year. Ethereal is great and all, but have you tried mod-inspired unisex cuts?Â
Hair by Andy Judd (@andy_doesyourhair)
Based in Nashville, Andy Judd describes their style as âromantic meets quirk meets queer meets punkâ. Honestly, enough said. Definitely follow if youâre constantly seeking short cut inspiration.

Stag Hair Parlor (@staghairparlor)
Low-toxic and organic, Stag Hair Parlorâs feed is about as minimal as it gets â which is exactly what we love about it.
Sometimes, you want inspiration for those subtle clients who donât want to go too wild but still want to feel transformed. Stag does that beautifully.
Philip Wolff (@philipwolffhair) and Alfredo Lewis (@alfredo_lewis)
Who doesnât love a dynamic duo? Both Philip and Alfredo have built massive followings largely because theyâre so open to sharing their thoughts and skills with the world at large.

Dani Tygr (@danitygr)
Behind every dynamic duo (Philip and Alfredo), thereâs a brilliant manager. With over 13 years in the industry, Dani definitely knows the ins and outs of all things hair and business, and, of course, brings that knowledge to her feed.
Amanda Lyberger (@thehairygodmotherr)
In case youâre feeling like you donât have enough color in your feed, behold! Amanda Lyberger has just solved your problem. We came across her when she applied (and won!) the first Schedulicity Cares grant â and weâve never looked back.
Hairdustry (@hairdustry)
Schedulicity sponsors this podcast, so weâre a little biased, but we still think itâs the ideal spot to keep up to date on hair industry icons (and to know as soon as thereâs a new episode).
The World by Brit (@theworldbybrit)
Obsessed with the unicorn hair trend? Well, you could say that Brit Carmichael is the unicorn queen. Itâs her pastel world. Weâre just living in it.
Sarai Speer (@theplatinumgiraffe)
Now that youâre following the best account for all the color, letâs talk about our favorite expert on no color whatsoever.
Sarai Speer knows platinum, white, ice, silver, ash â every shade that brings the snow queen vibes, sheâs got it handled.
If your goal is to get better with bleach, toning, and everything in-between, this Instagram feed is for you.
Stacie Young (@squiresly)
Need to inspire your inner witchcraft? Head over to Stacie Youngâs IG feed and give @squiresly a follow. Sheâs bringing sustainability to her craft and weâre here.for.it.
Gabriel Urbina (@artistry_by_gabriel)
Itâs never too late to follow your true calling â and Gabe is a prime example of that. He also works closely with the Hairdustry duo, and his photography skills lend to a fire Instagram feed.

City Image Barbers (@cityimagebarbers) and Joe Agnello (@thebarberguru)
Thereâs no lack of educational resources across these two accounts! From barbering tools to barbershop design to Instagram tips, theyâve got you covered.
They have nine locations across New Jersey, so if you need some inspiration on how to hustle, look no further.

Taylor Cutz (@taylorcutz1)
If youâve ever been into the barber depths of Youtube, youâve probably come across his content! Heâs been taking over the Instagram scene as well, with his unique cuts.
Rob The Original (@robtheoriginal)
With 1.3 million followers, he must be doing quite a few things right! His home alone haircut is definitely worth checking out, if we were you, plus he has some cute baby content on there.
Cassie Kurtz (@CKMakeupNYC and @HerChairHisHair)
Another one of our Schedulicity Cares winners, Kurtz is a talented barber and an outspoken advocate for women in her industry. Sheâs trying to make barbering more welcoming to women through various projects, including her nonprofit, Her Hair His Chair.Â

Emma Dixon (@dixondoeshair)
Speaking of women barbers, hereâs another great one to follow. Emma Dixonâs feed is a nice change of pace thanks to its inclusive, gender-neutral barbering shots. Added bonus: cute photos of her dog.
Barry Hairston (@thestarsbarber)
Barry is ebullient, charming, powerful, occasionally sassy â but above all, heâs a supporter of other barbers trying to make it. And… the Instagram account name isnât happenstance. He does, in fact, serve as the barber to numerous stars.
Fe Goins (@shesthebarber)
One word: Badass. This barber knows her trade including fades, but weâd argue that her sweet spot is beards. So. Many. Good. Looking. Beards.
Pati Plymire (@queenofthesouth512)
This is the account to follow if you need inspiration for braids. Beautiful and fascinating braids.
John Carmona (@titan_barber)
For barbers who are interested in more color, more edge, more everything, John’s a must-follow.
BarberEvo Magazine (@barberevo)
Everybody loves a trade publication, but what about a trade Instagram account? This account is a great way to keep up to date with the biggest names in barbering (often featured in the magazine), and to find additional accounts to follow.
Sofie (@staygold31)
We love Sofieâs account for how real and raw it is â you can tell immediately that this is a woman who knows her stuff and isnât going to beat around the bush about it. Transparency is the deal here, and her posts are always straightforward and honest.
And that, friends, is a pretty great list to get you started.
