What does it take to become the go to hair colorist for the Hollywood A-list? Huh. Let’s think about that one. That A-list is pretty short. There are probably plenty of stylists in L.A. who’d like to be on it. I mean they’ve all got licenses, right? They all learned how to color hair at some point, didn’t they?

Clearly, Nelson Chan knows some things about hair color that the rest of us don’t. He’s been the colorist for Heather Graham, Alicia Silverstone, and even taken Sarah Michelle Gellar from “Buffy” blonde to a sultry brunette! He’s been continuously voted “Best Colorist” by both InStyle and Allure magazines.
Chan is born and raised in Hong Kong, trained in Los Angeles, and his star has risen fast. Still in his 20s, he has gone from a prestigious apprenticeship which led to a full-time postion with renowned colorist Stuart Gavert, to owning his own top-rated Nelson J Salon in Beverly Hills, and has now developed his own lines of hair care.
When you are a master at your craft the way Nelson is, you want to work with tools and products that meet your exacting standards, and may decide to create those products yourself. Great color can only be achieved on hair that is supple, healthy, and vibrant. ISH Rescue and Nelson J products were developed by Nelson and are used on his salon clients every day. His breakthrough was the innovative HRC crystals used in his ionic hair treatment. This treatment actually activates the crystals with the heat from a flat iron and leaves the hair silky smooth!
