Stephen Knoll

Stephen Knoll

Stephen Knoll is a New York hairstylist with more than three decades behind the chair. He opened his Midtown Manhattan salon in 1991, blocks from Central Park, and built his reputation styling editorial pages for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, Elle, and Cosmopolitan — alongside a discreet celebrity clientele drawn to his signature blend of precision and softness.

In 2003, he partnered with Japanese cosmetic leader KOSÉ Corporation to launch Stephen Knoll New York (SKNY), a haircare line built on a single belief: a hairstyle is only as beautiful as the health of the hair beneath it. Today, SKNY brings together Japanese nano-encapsulation science and New York salon artistry, translating Stephen's behind-the-chair expertise into rituals that work at home.

His philosophy is straightforward: hair should look beautiful, feel healthy, and behave naturally — with or without a stylist there to style it.
