Tracey Cunningham’s clients are among the most sought after women of stage and screen – from JLo to Mariah Carey, Charlize Theron to Emma Stone.

Her mantra has remained unchanged over her tenure, “Color should be natural and reflect the hair one had in their youth”.

Cunningham has been at the forefront of the competitive hair arena for over two decades, nurturing and perfecting her talent at some of the most prestigious salons in Los Angeles, until she opened her own salon, Mèche, with co-owner Neil Weisberg, in 2012.

Her work has graced the covers of magazines such as Vogue, W, InStyle and Bazaar and every red carpet and event from the Met Gala, Oscars and Emmys to Grammys and Superbowl.

She currently lends her distinguished skills as the Schwarzkopf Professional US Creative Director of Color & Technique, providing her expertise in creative color formulations and relating red carpet trends to every day hairstylists behind the chair, and serves as Ambassador for the revolutionary hair product, Olaplex. In previous years, she also provided her color expertise to other prestige hair color brands in the industry to develop successful products used by professionals.

In spring of 2021 she released “Tracey Cunningham’s True Color: The Essential Hair Color Handbook”. In it, Cunningham reveals her vast knowledge into the world of hair color, treatment, and gives an endless supply of photo inspiration and tips on achieving the perfect natural hair color.

A “less is more” approach to style, hair as well how she works with each client and proven to be the winning way.
