Who is Chris Appleton?

Chris is a 38-year-old British hair stylist from Leicester. However, he quickly made his way to Hollywood and is now based in Los Angeles.

He has worked with a huge number of big names including Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Kylie Jenner, Rita Ora, Dua Lipa and Jennifer Lopez, and even did JLo’s Super Bowl hair.

Chris is also an Internet personality, with a staggering 2.5 million followers on Instagram where he regularly posts about his daily life.

In his bio, he reveals that he is the Global Creative Director at Color Wow and has modelled for IMG Models Worldwide.

Before coming out at gay, he was in a relationship with a woman called Katie Katon and has two children with her, Kitty Bly and Billy.

Inside his career

As reported by Grazia, he had an interest in hair from a young age and used to style his mum’s hair as a child.

He got his first job in a hair salon when he was 13 and perfected his craft and built up his clientele until he was at the highest price level in the salon.

However, he always had a desire to do more than just work in a local salon and would always travel to London to learn more and assist other stylists.

After gaining a hair colour degree, he began helping backstage at fashion shows and won the BBC competition Young Hairdresser of the Year before moving to London to work on The X Factor and with Rita Ora.

By this time, he was well-known in the celebrity hair stylist world and even Jennifer Lopez’s team reached out from Los Angeles, but he had to decline as he was still based in London.

In 2016, he decided to move to LA where his first job was working on a JLo music video. Then, he went on to work with Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Adele, and Kim Kardashian. 

Now, he’s one of the most popular celebrity hair stylists around, and his career just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
