Jake Thompson

Collection: Bianco

Salon: Lunatic Fringe, Sugarhouse, Utah

Category: Avant Garde 2013

Photographer: Jake Thompson

Inspiration: "I was drawn to the future. When I think of the future, I think of white-so much white that it drowns out everything else. The white is so powerful that it harvests up the black in the hair. Bianco is the result.

Bio: As a child, Jake Thompson knew that he was destined to become big. He was unaware of the journey that he was going to take until his mom suggested that he explore the art of hairdressing. After enrolling in hair school, he simply yearned to learn more. Through his work and educating stints for Redken, Sexy Hair Concepts and Revlon Style Masters, Thompson has developed a passion for his craft. Co-owning Lunatic Fringe Salon in Sugarhouse, Utah has made Thompson's love for education expand to heights he never thought that he could reach.

Collection: Coiffure Haute Couture

Salon: The Loft Salon by Michael Albor, Boston, Mass.

Category: Avant Garde 2013

Photographer: Bob Packert

Inspiration: This shoot was an inspiration that stemmed from how designers create three collections a year, but hairstylists create unique designs every day.

As a national Aquage educator, Hamilton has spent the past 11 years traveling the country teaching everything from long hairstyling to precision cutting at hair shows and salons.

While Albor has rave reviews in all aspects of hair care-from haircuts to extensions and event updos-color and form are his true passions.
