She has since worked with photographers Annie Leibowitz and Helmut Newton and gathered a high profile clientele base with celebrities such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Gretchen Mol, Tom Cruise, Roger Federer, John Mayer and many others. After many years of styling, Hershberger worked with John Frieda to develop his Sheer Blonde and Beach Blonde product lines, which instantly became best sellers in the late nineties when they were released. Not long thereafter, Hershberger opened her first salon in March 2000, Sally Hershberger at John Frieda, on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. 3 years later, she followed with a New York outlet in the Meatpacking District. Though she was the first to charge $600, Hershberger now charges upwards of $800 for a cut and $3000 for hair extensions.

Hershberger has also developed her own line of hair care products, Sally Hershberger Professional, which are sold in her salon and certain products from the line are available at Walgreens stores. Further, Hershberger has helped develop a line of anti-aging skin care products for L.A.-based spa, The Face Place. However, to the general public who may not partake in Sally’s expensive products and haircuts, the stylist is likely most recognizable for her run as a no-nonsense judge during the first season of Bravo’s Shear Genius.

Sally’s now a regular contributor to the People Magazine StyleWatch beauty column “Who got it right?”. Check it out here!

Wright has worked with many famous clients, such as Candace Bushnell, Vivica A. Fox and Rebecca Gayhart while styling at the famed Frederic Fekkai Salon in Los Angeles. None of his former clients are as famous as his current one, however: Wright is the 31-year-old wunderkind behind Michelle Obama’s polished coif. He first styled the First Lady for an August 2008 cover shoot for Ebony Magazine. After the shoot, Wright’s services were enlisted on a more permanent basis. Since the Obamas have moved to Washington, Wright has also mostly relocated to the District and is at Michelle’s service when she needs him; he recently styled her for a cover of Vogue.

Despite his coastal move, he has not lost his L.A. sensibility: in January, he inked a reality television show deal with production company 44 Blue who have produced modest shows for cable networks Style and A&E. While the exact format of his show is as yet unknown, it will likely follow a docusoap or makeover arrangement. 44 Blue have expressed interest in Wright for some time, even before he grabbed his famous client. The producers believe in his telegenic personality and appreciate the fact that as a man of color, he will represent a minority which is often ignored by beauty, style and makeover programs.

Several years later he established his own salon, Arrojo Studio in New York City, which now bustling and admired, has recently expanded to 15,000 square feet.

Arrojo is a household name due to his effervescent appearances on TLC’s What Not To Wear. Beyond his appearances on the show, Arrojo’s products are growing in popularity and are sold at his Varick Street salon, Space NK stores in both New York and the UK, and on QVC. Arrojo’s products are easy to use and custom designed to suit all hair types. As if that’s not enough, Arrojo also has a line of stylist videos for educational purposes. The videos, covering fundamentals, razor-use, color, bob, layers, and men’s cuts, are designed to improve control, flexibility and style, and will, according to Arrojo’s online store, “unlock your true creative potential.” Arrojo has also written Great Hair, a book that reveals his style secrets to the everyday woman and features real women as his models.

Two years ago, Coffey appeared on Shear Genius and though she was considered an early front-runner, she was eliminated in the sixth episode. However, after the program’s run, viewers voted Coffey the Fan Favorite, due to the fact that she was outspoken, intense and talented and many believed, eliminated far too early.
