Hai Tran is a Wichita-based salon owner, stylist, and educator who helps hairdressers turn “I hope this lifts” into “I know exactly where this is going.” As a L’ANZA educator and traveling artist, he’s built a reputation around transformation work—dimensional balayage, color melts, and the kind of blonding that looks expensive in any lighting.

What stands out in Hai’s world is the way he translates big results into repeatable thinking. Modern Salon notes his viral “black to blonde” color correction chart—a tell that he’s not just doing the work, he’s mapping it. And his Behind The Chair feature work reinforces the same signature: formula-first, detail-heavy, and still wearable for real clients.

From behind the chair at Hai Salon in Wichita’s Douglas Design District, Hai’s education style meets stylists where they actually live—between tight timing, tricky histories, and clients who want “bright but natural.” If you’re ready to tighten your blonding, sharpen your correction decisions, and build transformations that photograph like a portfolio, Hai’s an easy yes.
