Ryan Cotton

Born and raised in the Midwest, Ryan Cotton moved to New York City in 2002. A veteran of Serge Normant at John Frieda Downtown Salon, Ryan has built a diverse and loyal clientele over the years. Although he displays diversity in all of his cuts, Ryan is known for giving clients “invisible layers” – a technique that gives women with longer hair great shape while blending the layers seamlessly.

Beyond his artistic and technical skills, Ryan’s success can also be attributed to his aptitude for consulting. He takes pride in the fact that he listens to his exactly what his clients want, while offering an honest and professional opinion on what will work for them.

Ryan gathers his inspiration from the countless trendsetters that visit him regularly as well as from collaborations with top photographers including Annie Leibovitz, Joshua Jordan and Albert Watson. His work has appeared in leading fashion publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, and InStyle, and he has also been quoted in ELLE, Us Weekly and Life & Style.

Ryan’s attention to detail and superb work ethic have made him a much sought-after hairstylist amongst celebrities, and he has styled Emma Roberts, Mandy Moore, Leighton Meester, Jenny McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Julianne Moore, Ellen Barkin, Kristen Wiig, and Taylor Momsen. His work has also been featured on the runways of New York Fashion Week for renowned designers such as Marc Jacobs, Sue Stemp, Rag & Bone, Behnaz Sarafpour, and Ralph Lauren.

In April 2010, Ryan joined the Marie Robinson salon as a stylist.
