Award-winning colourist and influencer Jessica Scott Santo launched her career after graduating at the top of her class from the Metro Beauty Academy in 2008. She quickly discovered her passion for education, teaching modelling hair classes at Image International Modeling Agency while continuing her own training under acclaimed stylist Matthew Alan Thorpe.
For a decade, she worked as a Master Stylist before opening her own salon, Jessica Scott Hair, where she specializes in bespoke balayage for discerning clients in her home state of Pennsylvania. Jessica’s artistry and flawless technique have earned her numerous accolades, including the 2021 American Influencer Award for Hair Colorist of the Year. That same year, she won Behindthechair’s One Shot Award in Color Video and taught her blonding techniques on the BTC main stage in Austin, Texas. She was also named one of Modern Salon’s Top 100 Stylists in 2018, among other awards and honours. She has traveled extensively as an educator and hair colour expert and has worked with many brands as a social media influencer. She loves inspiring other stylists, and her Instagram page — where she shares a wealth of technical and artistic instruction on balayage and blonding — has over 300,000 followers.
