Recognised as one of the world’s most respected and sought-after session hairstylists, Kevin has been at the forefront of fashion, runway, editorial and film for decades within Australia and internationally. His work has graced the covers of all the major global print publications, and he has directed hair teams for countless high profile fashion houses across the globe. KEVIN.MURPHY the brand was born from this industry directly as a simple truth; it was the lack of products that performed as needed on shoots and runways that forced Kevin to go beyond conventional hair products and look to advancements being made in skincare.

Kevin has also worked with cinematic luminaries such as Baz Luhrmann on the legendary Moulin Rouge, and his celebrity client list has included Cate Blanchett, Naomi Watts, Selma Blair, Kylie Minogue, Enrique Iglesias, Vanessa Hudgens, Heidi Klum, Rose Byrne, Miranda Kerr, Catherine McNeil, Jessica Hart, Abby Lee and too many more to mention. Kevin remains at the forefront of an industry that he is deeply engaged with and passionate about. Education is at the heart of everything Kevin commits to and his contribution to KEVIN.MURPHY Education knows no bounds.
