Kris Harrelson, Grow Salon

As a former football player who graduated from UGA’s business school and put in time as an equity trader, Kris Harrelson is hardly a salon stereotype. But all that time spent studying gridiron playbooks and financial markets paid off: Harrelson’s meticulous technique results in hair color that moves, shines, and looks unbelievably natural—particularly blonds, where his mix of highlights and lowlights restores the towheaded locks you once had (or wish you did). And a bonus: As you sit in the chair having foils put in, you can talk stocks, bonds, Dawgs—anything but banal celeb gossip.
