Celebrity hairstylist Kevin Mancuso is best recognized for his red carpet work. With A-list ladies like Natalie Portman, Kristen Bell, Rebecca Hall, Julianna Margulies, Rachel Weisz, Christina Aguilera, Ke$ha, Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, Naomi Watts, and Anne Hathaway as clients, Kevin’s resume reads like a Hollywood’s who’s who. Most recently, Mancuso joined forces with Nexxus Hair Care as their creative director.
I was so honored to ask Kevin three beauty questions. Here are his answers:
INDUSTRY BREAK: I was lucky enough to be living in New York City where there are many opportunities in my business. I dove right in, worked in a salon, and assisted a freelance makeup and hair stylist. I even assisted photographers to get an understanding of both sides of the business. My big break came when I did a string of magazines covers. By the end of that year, I had magazine covers and inside page credits with Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Tatia Patitz, Iman, and Paulina Porizkova.

FAVORITE LOOK YOU’VE EVER CREATED: My favorite look that I’ve created is Natalie Portman’s style for the Oscars. Natalie trusted me to create my own vision for the big night. It was intricate, elegant and feminine–a total knockout!
