John Frieda, the British celebrity hairstylist and founder of the Frizz-Ease haircare range, has died aged 75. Multiple outlets report that tributes are being paid by friends, family and fans, and they describe him as a widely recognised figure in hairdressing.
Several sources note his work with prominent clients, including Princess Diana and Madonna, and also mention other well-known figures such as Joanna Lumley and, in one case, stars associated with Hollywood. Metro and other papers highlight that he was a “true icon” for the industry and emphasise his influence beyond individual appointments.
A different strand of coverage focuses on his business legacy: Metro and Business of Fashion describe Frizz-Ease as a household-name product line and, in Metro’s case, specify that Frieda sold the brand to Japan’s Kao Corporation in 2002. Outlets differ mainly in the amount of detail they include about his career length, client list, personal life, and the specifics of his brand sale and its reported value.
