Originally from Salt Lake City, Ammon first studied hair in Colorado where he realized his scissors had the power to inspire change for those in his chair. His New York career began at the Warren-Tricomi Salon in the Plaza Hotel, where he quickly became noticed as one of their premier stylists.

Ammon continued to build his loyal clientele at the prestigious Mizu Salon and later lead as Artistic Director at Matrix, a division of L’Oreal for over 12 years.

Ammon opened the Ammon Carver Studio in New York City 5 years ago. Hybrid salon and photography studio, it serves to unite the worlds behind and in front of the camera by creating a cohesive space for both. His new studio serves as the ideal space for Ammon to stay true to his core principles of authenticity and “likeable luxury,” and to continue his work as a stylist for clients looking for a luxurious experience. Ammon and his stellar team are united by not only their love for the hair industry but their passion for giving back by traveling the world helping those less fortunate.

Most recently, Ammon has been fortunate to join Ulta Beauty as the Chief Artistic Director, he has the privilege of setting the course for salon and services direction through trend development, as well as for training and advising stylists at over 1200 salons and stores across the country.
