British celeb hairstylist and sweetness trade stalwart John Frieda, who tended to the locks of Jackie Kennedy and Princess Diana amongst others, has died aged 75, his salon introduced on Tuesday, November 3.
“It’s with heavy hearts that we share the information that our expensive John handed away peacefully… surrounded by his household,” the John Frieda salon posted on Instagram.
“John was greater than a mentor to us; he was a real icon of the hair trade. He was the one who taught us all the pieces, believed in us, and made us higher.”
Born in 1951, Frieda got here from a household of hairdressers and educated on the Home of Leonard salon in London.
He established himself as a hairstylist to the celebs and high-fashion magazines within the Seventies earlier than opening his personal salons, which grew into a global haircare empire.
Over his profession, he has taken care of the tresses of celebrities together with Twiggy, Mick Jagger, Nicole Kidman and Madonna.
His hair product model, John Frieda Skilled Hair Care, behind the cult “Frizz-Ease” line, was bought to the Japanese cosmetics conglomerate Kao in 2002.
Married twice, John Frieda had 4 kids.
The artistic director at his salon, Cetera Lamb, mentioned the trade had misplaced “a real legend, an actual maverick in hairdressing”.
