STEPHEN BEAVER

CELEBRITY BRAND AMBASSADOR for R+Co

Stephen is a well-known celebrity hairstylist, educator and brand consultant with an international reputation. British-born and formerly based in Los Angeles, he now resides in London where his styling career began at the flagship Vidal Sassoon salon where he was quickly singled out for his mastery of both classic and precision cutting. From the beginning, he worked closely with the artistic team and his ability to impart the most intricate and complex technique was identified early. That led to increasingly educational roles where he travelled the world showcasing his work. His talent and commitment had him appointed to the prestigious position of Art Director after just seven years and in that role, he began to develop and refine his signature style.

That signature style stresses visual effect - first and foremost. The style must be visually beautiful, stunning and singular. Technique, detail and craft are employed to achieve the beauty, they are not – in his approach –the central component; the ‘look’ itself is the focus with the craft and technical command employed to achieve that. He holds that ‘technique for technique’s sake’ is deceptive; technique must serve vision and vision must be directed towards beauty. That is his style sequence and that – and an innate sense of style and the technical command to achieve his vision - has made him one of the most sought-after hair stylists in the industry.

That sense of vision, that understanding of how we perceive, how we look – how to achieve the look that makes onlookers catch their breath - has made him a ‘go-to’ stylist for an impressive rollcall of editorial, advertising and ‘Red Carpet’ commissions.

He is the preeminent hair stylist collaborator for a dizzying list of fashion and fine art photographers: Luigi & Iango, Alexei Hay, Alina Estilismo, Alice Neale, Arcin Sagdic, Ben Toms, Christian Oita, Daniel Thomas Smith, Emma Hardy, Emma Summerton, Emma Tempest, Hans Neumann, Iakovos Kalaitzakis, James Meakin, Jens Langkjaer, Koto Bolofo, Lado Alexi, Laura Coulson, Marc Hibbert, Peter Ash Lee, Philippe Kliot, Billie Scheepers, Tom Craig, Tung Walsh and Yvan Fabing.

These are the best at what they do and they will only work with the best. The fact that they keep coming back to Stephen Beaver tells you everything.

His work has appeared in Vanity Fair, Vogue USA, Vogue UK, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE UK and ELLE Mexico, Rolling Stone, Essential Homme, Glamour, HEROINE, i-D, Interview, InStyle USA, L’Officiel, Número Homme, Self Service, Chaos, Paper, Porter (Net-A-Porter) and W Magazine.

His professional services have been sought by global brands such as Givenchy, Tom Ford, Sisley, Zadig & Voltaire, Ralph & Russo, Citizen, Kenzo, Liberty and Mary Katrantzou.
