Hair Stylist Stephen Knoll Dishes on NYFW Hair

 

The Fashion Spot: Do you think beauty looks are safer in NY than they are in the other major fashion weeks? 

Stephen Knoll: Unfortunately, yes!

tFS: From your experience, how much do runway looks actually affect what clients in salons ask for?

SK: Honestly, they really don’t.

tFS: Who’s more influential in terms of what women want to mimic, model’s hair looks or celebrity’s hair looks?

SK: Sadly, celebrities.

tFS: All time favorite runway beauty look?

SK: Veruschka During the 60s.

tFS: We saw a lot of hats on the runway. Any tips for wearing them without messing up your hair?

SK: There’s not much that you can do, so I would say either wear it and don’t worry about it or carry it as an accessory.

tFS: We saw a lot of hair products being used this season. Any tips for not ending up with a super crunchy mane?

SK: Don’t overdo it! When you use the right product, you don’t need to use that much of it. A good tip to remember is to apply product to damp hair as opposed to dry or wet hair.

tFS: Orlando Pita said he feels a headband trend coming on, do you agree?

SK: Not really.

tFS: What’s the biggest “hair mistake” you find women make?

SK: Not having a style that works with their face and hair type, as well as not having a style that’s easy for them to style on a daily basis.
