Ahairstylistcan transform more than your hair.
Bella Geraci
And amakeup artistcan brighten more than your eyes.
For so many of us, beauty professionals are friends and unofficial therapists.
They boost our confidence and encourage us to take risks.
Bella Geraci
They are a constant support (daily, weekly, monthly) in a world of change.
Here, words of gratitude to a few beauty professionals, from a few clients you might know.
Jodie Turner-Smith + Ursula Stephen
Ursula,
When it comes to hair, you are the truth.
Bella Geraci
More than just a hairstylist, you are an artist.
For always being there with your beautiful, joyful energy.
For creating good times and great looks.
Bella Geraci
And for delivering with a speed that blows me away every time.
Trust me when I say anyone is lucky to have#UrsieOnHair.
Love, Jodie

Laura Harrier + Jennifer Yepez
DearJen,
How do I love thee, let me count the ways.
From the moment you walk through the door (and we have seen many doors together!
), you bring a confidence of your own that is palpable.
Bella Geraci
That transfer of good energy is hard to pass up and often inspires how the day will go.
And while were on the topic, may we discuss the fun?
Not to mention a glass of champagne is usually (almost always) involved.
Bella Geraci
Over the years, youve become like a sister to me.
Ill forever be grateful for your presence and to be the recipient of your artistry!
Love, Laura

Lauren Conrad + Kristin Ess
Kristin,
You really are that cool.
It was 15 years ago and you were working at a small salon.
You were disarming and confident and had this unmistakable energy that straddled dark and light so beautifully.
You were edgy and chic and almost exclusively wore black.
Who knew youd be best known for your iconic sweetpink shampoo bottle?

We share a love for the creative process and I have always been impressed by your razor-sharp perspective.
I credit you as one of the people who helped me shape my brand.
Most importantly, you are a really, really good friend.
You have been honest and loyal to me during a chaotic time in my life.
Anyone who knows you will tell you that you are one of the most talented people youll ever meet.

Debby Ryan + Misha Shahzada + Hinako
A makeup artist is home-field advantage.
Hinako, you show up with precision and tenderness.
You are deeply cool and profoundly lovely, and I love your light, generosity, and tenderness.
That day, you ran with me to the store to get hosiery on the way to an event.
Thats intimacy from the jump.
You hold down anything I do on the East Coast and weve traveled as far as Manila together.

Logan Browning + Naivasha
My DearestNaivasha,
When Im with you it feels like home.
I always know Im safe in every imaginable way.
You are a living legend and I absolutely love collaborating with you.
I appreciate you so much!
You have traveled on last-minute flights to double-check that Im comfortable with the glam for an event or shoot.
Ill never forget when we were in New Orleans and had 20 minutes to get a look together.
We always have so much fun.
We are truly sister-aunties.
We have shared meals, dating stories, and bathrooms.
It doesnt get much closer than that.
Im so happy to see you are in a season of life that is now about giving to yourself.
It is past time for you to receive!
I will always support you in every endeavor the way you have always supported me.
Love you always, Logan

Khloe Kardashian + Andrew Fitzsimons
My DearestAndrew,
Where do I even begin?!
The way youre able to create and manipulate hair into an art form.
The way youre able to make someone look and feel exactly the way they describe.
I think the world knows all about your God-given talent.
The proof is in the photos.
You are always here for me!
(Wink, wink!)
So what I will say is: I love you dearly.
I respect the man that you are and how hard you have worked to get where you are.
Our relationship is special.
We met through work but we remain vaults for one another.
Our relationship has and always will be more than glam.
You are such a pure, gentle soul, who has the patience of a saint.
We are delirious and hysterical, usually over absolutely nothing.
You are one of the most fun people to be around with some of the most magnetic energy.
I love you so much, always and forever!
xo, Khloe

Hayley Williams + Brian OConnor
Brian,
Its 2022.
This means weve been friends and co-conspirators for 16 years now.
It all started with photos from Japanese fashion magazines and talking about the emo scene and my little band.
It wasnt long till it felt like everybody knew me.
Everyone knew my band.
And a whole bunch of them wanted my hair.
(Imagine that shit!)
I hope I do that for you somehow.
