What’s next for Kaz Amor?

I was at a party for Julie Chrisy in London and my friend that took me there was a hairdresser. That was my first introduction to the world of hair.

My biggest break was when I was named Color Director for Sebastian and got to travel the world doing what I love to do.

I was on a flight from New York to Los Angeles and I was sitting next to Joel Warren in business class. We started talking and our partnership was born.

"My most memorable celebrity collaboration I would have to say was working with Prince. It was one of my first experiences working with a celebrity and taught me what to expect."

Since of the location in West Hollywood, we wanted to find a balance between rock and roll and organic. The feeling when you come here is warm and inviting yet energetic - you feel that it is somewhere you would hang out with your friends.

My style is soft, natural lifestyle color.

My most memorable celebrity collaboration I would have to say was working with Prince. It was one of my first experiences working with a celebrity and taught me what to expect.

What does it take to maintain a long term successful career as a hair stylist?

Always challenge yourself and be on the pulse of fashion. I have my own atelier at my house and am constantly researching new styles and colors to make sure my skills are what they should be.

I can’t live without a flat iron, Mason Pierson brush and Redken Quick Dry Hairspray.

The biggest mistake people make is going to the salon when they are emotional. It is important to explain to your stylist your lifestyle whether it is work, family or friends.
