Early Life
Chris Appleton was born on June 14, 1983, in Leicester, England. Even in his early years, he understood the significant difference a stunning hairstyle can make.
He attended a private school in his hometown for his primary education and later pursued his degree at a renowned institution. Additionally, Appleton underwent specialized training in the field of beauty.
Career
Chris Appleton‘s career journey started in his own home, where he created a new hairstyle for his mother using a traditional hot brush and a less-than-ideal hairdryer that often got stuck in her hair.
She was his first source of inspiration and the person he used as a canvas to perfect his skills, from basic styles to more elaborate ones like snake-print beehives and towering beehive designs seen in fashion magazines.
At the age of 13, Appleton landed his initial job at a hair salon. Over time, he worked his way up to “his price level” and ultimately reached the highest price level within the salon. He had a constant desire to excel in his work, which led to continuous learning and improvement.
While he was not working, he relocated to London to receive training, support artists on set, and earn a degree in hair coloring. After that, he started working backstage at global fashion events and conducting intricate and visually appealing searches for magazine photoshoots. His hard work did not go unnoticed.
At the age of 27, Appleton achieved a significant accomplishment by winning the Youthful Beautician of the Year competition on BBC television. This success allowed him to start his career in celebrity hair styling, working with notable figures like Cara Delevingne and Kate Moss for various publications.
In 2016, Appleton moved to Los Angeles. He remembers that on December 23, he finished his final day on The X Factor with Rita, and the next day, December 24, he made the move.
Initially, he was taken aback by the abrupt change, having spontaneously left behind his apartment and European lifestyle.
However, he is now recognized as a top hairstylist in Los Angeles and also serves as a hairstylist for several high-profile celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, and Drew Barrymore.
Personal Life
Kitty Blu Appleton is his daughter, and he has recently started creating videos together with her. Despite much speculation from her fans, the identity of Kitty’s mother has not been revealed. Chris also has a son named Billy Appleton.
Chris Appleton is currently a single father, and he proudly embraces his homosexuality. He was previously married to American actor Lukas Gage. However, the couple recently announced their divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Net Worth
Although there is no confirmed data about Chris Appleton’s wealth, he is rumored to have a net worth of $2 million. He also owns a $3.9 million residence in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California, United States.
Located at the eastern edge of the famous Sunset Strip, this historic 1920s villa boasts a Spanish Revival design. With five bedrooms, the house sits on a steeply inclined lot and carries a noteworthy celebrity history. Additionally, the property features a pool nestled in the front yard corner.
