Instagram Feature: Shonda Broadus
Let the hair rebels of Beaufort, South Carolina rejoice. You have one of the most intriguing, color crazy stylists around Instagram. Cutting and highlighting are among her many specialties, but it's the custom colors and highlights that turn everybody's eyes to the screen. She started styling back in the early 2000s and never looked back. Now, with well over a decade of experience, she runs the Color Me RAD Salon and shares her mind in the shape of hair and dye with us on Instagram. She lives by the simple mantra “Do dope ass hair.” The phrase mirrors what you see in her styling. It's different, striking, and bold.
Color Me RAD is where hair color goes to live the way it always wanted to. The stylists there aren't afraid to experiment and go big, Shonda least of all. She has cool colors, loud styles, and clean skills. Shonda has graced fashion magazines like Beauty Launchpad and Modern Salon with her keen knowledge and vivid color sensibility, if you had any doubts about her practical knowledge. They're a great place to go if you're looking for inspiration.
She takes her inspiration from her surroundings. And while it would seem that her specialty is vivid rainbow hair color, you can see echoes of sunsets and rippling water in her work. She isn't just creating vivid hair color, she's bringing a whole new meaning to the term “natural color.” She's constantly creating new techniques for coloring and processing hair to get different shades and textures. Which is another reason to follow her Instagram, by the way. She'll occasionally post tips and quick instructions with what she's working on.
