About Stephen Knoll

Born in Wisconsin, Stephen was already interested in hair design from early childhood. At age 11, he was coloring and cutting. By high school, already pushing existing limits of creativity, he was styling the hair of women in his hometown. That he would move to New York was inevitable.

After working for a brief period in NY's top salons, Stephen began a flourishing freelance career, which led him to style for some of the most prestigious advertisng campaigns, as well as editorial work appearing in magazines such as Vogue, Bazaar, InStyle, Cosmo and countless other.

Opening his namesake salon in 1991, he became one of the few contemporary hair stylists active as both a salon and session stylist. Today, Stephen continues to work in his salon and as a photo session stylist, as well as travelling in the United States and abrod to work with his celebrity clients and other clients of luminary status.
