Chris McMillan

Chris McMillan’s Rolodex is unlike any other — and so is the body of work behind it. When he

created “The Rachel” with Jennifer Aniston, he proved that a haircut has the power to move

culture. In the decades since, his work has stretched across magazine covers and editorials,

film and television, Super Bowl commercials, global campaigns, fashion shows and red carpets,

with a client list that includes Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Williams, Leslie Bibb, Miley Cyrus, Kim

Kardashian, Mariska Hargitay, Jon Hamm, Brad Pitt and Austin Butler — to name a few.

But here’s the thing about Chris: through it all, he never stepped away from the chair. He has

been behind the chair as a working stylist since the age of 18 — 44 years — and to this day still

takes 10 to 15 clients a day at the Chris McMillan salon in Beverly Hills, which he has owned

and operated for over 24 years. There is not a day that goes by that Chris does not cut hair.

Chris lives by a simple philosophy: focus on the hair, and the rest will follow. The covers and

the carpets were never the goal — they came from doing the work, every day, one client and

one head of hair at a time.

That same point of view is behind his haircare line, Chris McMillan. Forty-four years behind

the chair teaches you what matters — which products earn their place, and which ones don’t.

The line is Chris’s edit: the styling essentials he reaches for every day, distilled into a tightly

curated collection built to perform behind the chair and beyond it. And he couldn’t be more

excited to finally share it with the pro community.

Because Chris believes hairdressing was never meant to be a paycheck-to-paycheck job. Done

with love, it’s a craft, a business and a life.
