Trent Ludwig

Colorist and Stylist

I am a NYC-based colorist and stylist originally from the northern Virginia area outside of DC.

I specialize in high-dimension, "lived-in" color designed to evolve beautifully. Whether it’s a sun-drenched balayage, a buttery blonde, or a seamless bronde, my goal is always "natural chic." I take equal pride in crafting rich, expensive-feeling brunettes and vibrant copper tones that feel authentic and elevated.

When it comes to the cut, I’m inspired by the "cool girl" aesthetic—versatile hair that looks just as good air-dried on the beach as it does styled into a voluminous **90s blowout** for the streets of NYC.

Having worked with prominent fashion and lifestyle voices—including **Xenia Adonts, Claire Rose, Cheralee Lyle, and Deborah Hanekamp (Mama Medicine)**—I’ve honed the ability to create hair that feels like a personal trademark.

For me, the artistry is in the details of your experience. I am committed to providing a seamless, premium journey from the first consultation to your post-salon care, ensuring you feel confident and inspired long after you leave my chair.

My approach is supported by a deep technical foundation as a Redken Educator. Being a self-proclaimed "hair nerd," I lean into the science of hair and color theory to ensure every look is as healthy as it is beautiful. That "eye" for detail actually stems from my background as an artist when I’m not behind the chair. With a philosophy that creative energy influences each other. My time on my art keeps me inspired by color and design in the salon and my role as an educator inspires as much growth for me as it does those in classes.
