RUSK has launched its professional ambassadors’ team, RUSK Iconic Artists, by naming three California hairstylists as its debut icons.
RUSK calls Michelle Zabatta, Christion Rodriguez, and Cheyenne Caspary “visionary stylists who embody the brand’s creativity, collaborative energy, and dedication to community.”
The brand had an eye out for stylists whose talent and community support go above and beyond, RUSK says in a statement. “RUSK was built on the belief that artistry flourishes in community, and that stylists grow stronger when they grow together.”
Here is the brand’s introduction of its Iconic Artists Team:
Michelle Zabatta, Los Angeles, CA
Michelle’s decade-long career is defined by grit, passion, and fearless reinvention. After battling two types of cancer and losing over 330 pounds, she faced the challenge of not only rediscovering her personal strength but also revamping, rebuilding, and redirecting her business.
Known for her viral red and copper formulas, custom blondes and brunettes, and love of curls, her talent does not go unnoticed.
She now helps stylists create sustainable businesses while maintaining individuality and independence, all with a no-nonsense, bulletproof approach to success in creative freedom.
Christion Rodriguez, San Pedro, CA
With over 11 years of experience and a specialty in hair color, Christion is recognized for his bold creativity and even bigger personality. He brings both technical skill and infectious energy to every client interaction.
His passion for color is matched by his commitment to making others feel confident and seen.
With a deep understanding of tone, texture, and transformation, he crafts customized color experiences that celebrate individuality and style.
Cheyenne Caspary, Morgan Hill, CA
With 16 years of experience, salon owner and stylist Cheyenne is a master of her craft. Her salon, Vidi Amavi, is a peaceful space for free and wild spirits to feel beautiful and celebrated.
She specializes in blondes, lived-in color, and extensions – crafting customized, trendy manes that embody individuality.
Not only is she recognized in the beauty industry, she is also a published author of "The Micro Method," a groundbreaking guide to personal transformation that promises to deliver a massive impact to the realms of joy, confidence, and success.
“The RUSK Iconic Artists are visionaries who push boundaries, redefine beauty, and inspire,” the brand says.
“This is more than just a team; it’s a movement that will continue to grow, welcoming new artists and voices as we build a stronger, more connected community."
