8 Top Hairstylists to Cut Your Hair Before You DieIf money were no object, these are the top hairstylists you'd want to cut your hair. From innovative cutting techniques to ultra-luxurious salons, find out what makes each one such a stand-out |
There's something about a great haircut that makes you look -- and feel -- like a newer, better version of yourself. What woman hasn't walked into a salon feeling less than cute and walked out thinking she could be in one of those Pantene shampoo commercials?
And while any great hairstylist can give you this kind of transformation, in our beauty fantasies, these life-changing cuts would happen at the hands of top hairstylists -- the same ones who make celebrities look fantastic on the red carpet and the rich look beautiful at their Park Avenue and Beverly Hills cocktail parties.
We've spent a fair amount of time researching (OK, daydreaming) to come up with our bucket list of the top hairstylists every woman should try to snag an appointment with before they die. The criteria? These stylists are iconic -- many of them are as famous as their clients -- and a visit to one of their salons is an experience. Each of them also have big personalities and intriguing stories, which probably have a lot to do with their success.
Now, we know that a $500 haircut isn't feasible for most people. And to make you feel (a little) better, many of these stylists are booked solid with clients like Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Biel, anyway. But we wanted to indulge our superstar stylist fantasy nonetheless. Plus, even if you can't snag an appointment with one of these icons, you can still check out their product lines, make an appointment with a junior stylist at one of their salons, or ask your own stylist to give you a haircut like one that these hair icons are known for.
Skip ahead to read about the top hairstylists in the biz.
Of course this list is by no means exhaustive -- there are dozens of other top hairstylists out there whose chairs we'd love to hop into. There's also a new generation of rising stars in the hair industry -- and odds are they'll soon become the next posse of superstar stylists. But for now, we want to introduce you to these eight. Which hairstylist would you want to cut your hair?

What a disappointment. Only celebrities and the wealthy can afford $400-$600 for a haircut!! This is a terrible article which should never have appeared on TB. It is completely inappropriate for your audience.

Fekkai never disappoints me. Verrrry pricey but so worth it. That's my go to guy. Always has been. Always will be. I have put a great deal of faith in others, and always go back. No contest.

I agree with another reviewer that the HAIRSTYLES to try before you die would be more helpful and interesting for most readers. I don't plan on ever paying $600+ for a haircut.

i was disapointed in this because i misread it. I was hoping for hairSTYLES to try before you die, not stylists. I'll never pay that much for a haircut.

They may be considered the "best" in their field, but there's no way I'd be able to afford any of them. Plus, I'd rather buy myself some new clothes or something else.

Okay, I think we all agree none of us can take part of our mortgage payment and use it for a haircut. Here's an idea, why doesn't Total Beauty have a contest where some of us could win a haircut with one of these "stylists to the stars?!?!?!"
