Beth Minardi

Iconic Celebrity Haircolorist Beth Minardi has dedicated her illustrious career to elevating the perception of professional haircolor to an art form—with the help of the professional colorists she educates on innovative color techniques, forward-looking trends and business strategies.

Minardi first became intrigued by color as a young girl. Her aunt was a renowned painter, who delighted in sharing her passion with her niece. “Aunt Julia would give me a palette and squeeze out colors—white and black, then blue, red and yellow. She taught me how to mix color,” says Minardi. Little did she know that those experiences would influence her for a lifetime.

Armed with a degree in education followed by a cosmetology license, Minardi began working for a major haircolor brand as an educator. She quickly rose through the ranks, learning every step of the way. She landed in New York City, where working both behind the chair and in the lab, Minardi played an instrumental role in developing the industry’s leading haircolor products. As each of her creations moved the haircolor category forward exponentially, Minardi became more passionate about creating every product and shade that she and her haircolorist friends needed to delight their clients.

Enter Beth Minardi Signature Haircolor, a brilliant collection of more than 80 intermixable, essential, high-shine shades. They range from ultra pale to dramatic brunettes, coppers and reds, plus her exclusive tan shades. The Collection offers every shade haircolorists need and none they don’t. Together, they create a complete palette of Permanent Crème Haircolor, Demi-Permanent Crème Haircolor and Demi-Permanent Liquid Haircolor for ultimate creativity, shine and superb gray coverage. The brand’s scientific tenet: First, do no harm. That’s why Beth Minardi Signature Haircolor contains two important conditioners—phytocollagen and ceramide 2—that support both the inside and outside of the hair strand so the hair is conditioned as it is colored.

In 2017, Beth Minardi Signature Haircolor was acquired by Personal Brands, a New York City-based family-owned and operated beauty and lifestyle incubator. Since then, Minardi and her team have focused on developing new product innovations and Beth Minardi Color Immersion education. This includes digital education, which haircolorists can attend at their convenience. Her new business and marketing strategies help salons and hair stylists thrive in the new beauty economy.

When she’s not traveling to educate haircolorists, Minardi sees clients at Samuel Shriqui Salon on the fashionable Upper East Side of New York City. She provides her impressive roster of clients with gorgeous blondes, brunettes and reds ranging from crimson to copper. Spectacular gray coverage and silver enhancements, plus the most eye-catching shade-on-shade highlightings and balayage. She’s prepped celebrities from Evan Rachel Wood, Mandy Moore, Sara Jessica Parker to Julianne Moore, Brad Pitt and many others for a variety of starring roles.

As the professional beauty industry’s most awarded haircolorist, Beth has received The North American Hairstyling Awards' Lifetime Achievement Award, been honored as a "Ceiling Crasher" by EmpowHERment and been named as one of the 50 Most Influential Hairdressers for her work as a passionate haircolor educator by Modern Salon. BehindtheChair.com named her Haircolor Educator of the Year multiple times and American Salon magazine honored her as Haircolorist of the Year.
