This hair colorist gets inspiration from all over—and the results are amazing
Urulsa Goff is a Kansas-based hair colorist who doesn’t take part in trends. Instead of following along with the demand for Pumpkin Spice Hair, Galaxy Hair and other hair trends, she’s been paving the way for hair colorists to explore. Whether she’s looking to nature or at works of art for inspiration, she consistently leads the way for self-expression. Because this stylist doesn’t follow trends—she creates them.
One look at her Instagram and you’ll see just how truly outstanding her work is. The side-by-side images she posts prove her talent. And it’s quite impressive.
Just look at how she nailed crystallized hair here, inspired by none other than beautiful crystals:

When this colorist isn’t recreating naturally occurring beauty, she’s making her own versions of artistic masterpieces. Like this take on Monet:

She calls it “hair painting,” and it’s absolutely beautiful. Here’s a Mondrian-inspired hair look:
