Artistic Ambassador
Philip Foresto is a Nashville-based Redken Artistic Ambassador and salon owner known for his elevated color transformations and understated luxury aesthetic. With a career that began humbly—sweeping floors in his father-in-law’s salon—Philip has grown into a nationally recognized educator and Redken Ambassador, sharing his expertise in formulation, tone, and finish with stylists across the globe. He’s best known for coining and teaching the Expensive Hair technique: a high-impact, low-maintenance approach to color that exudes polish, dimension, and sophistication.
Philip’s sessions focus on achieving luxurious results through smart formulation, seamless blending, and client-focused customization. His calm, precise teaching style makes advanced concepts approachable, empowering stylists to create salon-friendly results that feel elevated and editorial. Whether you’re new to dimensional color or ready to refine your luxury service menu, Philip offers practical, modern strategies rooted in artistry and efficiency. His class is perfect for anyone ready to raise their color game—and their pricing.
