Hair Colorist

2014 Winner: Albana Ze at Shag

Color maven Albana Ze has a devoted clientele at Shag, where she fixes hair disasters with color correction (“A lot of people come in with color from a box!”) and gets creative with ombre. Favoring subtle looks, she’s an expert at the foil-free balayage technique, painting highlights freehand for a more natural, sun-kissed style. But don’t be afraid to request something a bit bold: Ze’s happy to use “funky” colors, and she’s amazingly diplomatic during consultations.
