Watch: Chris Appleton Details Coming Out To His Former Partner & KidsChris Appleton knows luxury comes at a price. The celebrity hairstylist-who is best known for working with stars including Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Kris Jenner-recently revealed the shocking price tag behind his most expensive service. "Like 100K, but that was to travel and stuff," he explained on the Jan. 23 episode of the U Up? podcast. "That was a whole situation." Though Chris, 42, admitted that he has "charged everything, from $100 back in the day" to six-figure amounts today, he clarified that the incredibly high fee isn't a regular occurrence. "That sort of thing is a one-off. But don't forget that then you get taxed 50%, then your agent takes something," he explained to podcast hosts Jordana Abraham and Jared Freid. "It gets dwindled down." Beyond the standard haircut, Chris has been behind some of the most iconic celebrity hair transformations. He's helped Kim, 45, turn heads on the red carpets for years and was even behind her icy blonde hair transformation in April 2024 ahead of the Met Gala.readChris Appleton Details Past Experience With Suicidal IdeationAnd of course, Chris has also experimented on hairstyles with her mom Kris, who debuted her own chic blunt bob cut in October. "We had a fun little blonde moment tonight!," the 70-year-old momager captioned an Instagram post, which featured a photo of her sitting beside Chris. Even though he works with such high-profile clients, Chris-who recently released his memoir Your Roots Don't Define You-doesn't always feel like his work precedes him. "We all have that self-doubt," he recently told People in an interview published on Jan. 20. "Every job I do, I'm always still a little nervous. I'm always a little anxious still. Every video I post on Instagram or TikTok, I'm always a little apprehensive."Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images for Daily Front RowHe added, "I like that to an extent because it is healthy. I never want to be arrogant and think, 'Oh, I know it all,' because I really don't. No one does. I think that's bulls--t." Kim and Kris aren't the only stars whose hairstylists changed up their looks in epic proportions. Read on to see what other celebs underwent major hair transformations.
