Garren reveals the stories behind iconic celebrity haircuts and his styling secrets

In a recent interview, Garren detailed the process behind some of his most headline-making celebrity hairstyles, including Victoria Beckham’s 2008 pixie cut that he crafted after persuading her to ditch extensions, a look she unveiled at a Marc Jacobs runway and later bragged about to Jennifer Lopez. He also highlighted his work on Kim Kardashian, recreating the iconic styles of Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie Kennedy for magazine covers.

Garren traced his rise to fame back to a bob he styled for Farrah Fawcett at a Studio 54 party in the 1970s, a cut that garnered press attention and sparked a lasting friendship. Expressing frustration with a decade of stagnant trends, he encourages bold cuts and dismisses the myth that frequent shampoo changes are necessary if the product is effective. His R+Co and R+Co Bleu hair-care collections, featuring lines such as Reparative, Essential and Blonded, aim to address specific color and texture goals. He concludes with practical styling advice, from quick-dry blowouts for curly hair to volumizing sprays for humid climates.
