Anh Co Tran is one of the world’s top celebrity hair stylists and hair-extension experts. He is based in Los Angeles, CA, and has catered to many of the city’s A-list clientele, including Anne Hathaway, Julianne Moore, and Emily Ratajikowski. Anh is a top influencer and innovator who draws his creative energy by the city’s taste for film, art, and high fashion. He is best known for his “lived in hair,” which is his “customized” cut that brings out the best movement and texture for every one of his clients. One thing you can look forward to when working with Anh Co Tran is his unique methodology. Rather than lathering up, Anh starts with completely dry hair. “Most people wear their hair in a dry state, so I cut it that way,” he explains. “This also gives me the added benefit of seeing the way my client’s hair behaves and spotting cowlicks. I can also see if there are any split ends, which I could then trim down.” Nothing says, “I just cut my hair” like a straight, harsh line.” You will avoid this entirely with Anh because he cuts into the hair to create variation and a natural or lived-in effect. “You know how you get a new pair of jeans and you have to break them in? I’m kind of breaking the hair in for you,” he says. “Instead of getting that new stiff pair, you’re getting worn-in, vintage jeans, and that’s the same philosophy that applies to the haircut. You end up with a styles that suits you, and becomes part of you.”
