Twelve years ago, celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos left Greece for Los Angeles, not yet speaking a lick of English. Today, he’s one of the most sought-after hairstylists in Hollywood, responsible for dozens of the biggest hair trends.
Lindsay Lohan: The Almond Milk Blond
“I wanted this style and color to feel expensive and old Hollywood-inspired, but in the most modern way, so I decided to take Lindsay’s hair to this gorgeous almond milk color. It’s something she hadn’t worn before, and it looked incredible on her.” To ensure the smoothest, most voluminous tresses post-color, Giannetos recommends using the Mason Pearson Popular Mixture Hair Brush ($275).
Joey King: The Prada Bob
Joey King is a longtime client of Giannetos, and her transformation from waist-skimming strands to a cropped “Prada bob” was one of her most eye-catching. “This look is effortlessly chic,” Giannetos says. “The Prada Bob is a blunt cut that swoops inward and parts to the side for an asymmetric look. It’s very flattering and works on any hair type. To perfect the Prada Bob, I love to add a beautiful gloss like L’Oréal Paris Le Color Gloss ($16).”
Amal Clooney: The French Riviera Blowout
“I created this look for Amal at the Cannes Film Festival this year. I wanted the waves to look soft and bouncy, so to achieve this look, I blow-dried the hair with a round brush and pinned each strand until the curls cooled. Then, I removed the pins, brushed through the curls, and parted her hair to the side.” For long-lasting, movie star–worthy hold, Giannetos uses L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Strong Hold Classic Hairspray ($16).
Demi Moore: The Studio 54 ‘Do
Demi Moore’s iconic, longer-than-life mane has become a signature part of her look over the years, and if you’ve ever ogled over one of her sleek ‘dos, it’s more than likely Giannetos was behind it. “I loved creating these disco-inspired waves for Demi,” he says. “I perfected her waves using the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer ($520), keeping the hair straight until about eye level, and then going in with those dramatic, tight waves.”
