The Celebrity Stylist Behind the Glam - And the Tool He Swears By
Big, bouncy blowouts. Glossy, brushed-out curls. Undone volume with just the right amount of polish. This season’s hair is all about height, movement, and a touch of nostalgic glamour-but with a modern twist: less heat, less damage, more tech. From runway moments to scroll-stopping TikToks, the demand isn’t just for style-it’s for styling that’s smarter.
It’s a shift echoed by Chris Appleton, the celebrity stylist known for turning iconic looks into everyday inspiration, and a creative force behind the tools changing how we style. Enter Shark Beauty, whose rise from beauty disruptor to industry innovator marks a new era in haircare. Because great hair isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about how it’s made. And that’s why it’s Famous for a Reason.

Beauty Tech That’s Built Different
In a sea of heat tools, Shark Beauty has re-engineered styling from the inside out. Their range isn’t just aesthetically pleasing - it's powered by serious innovation, designed to make styling smarter, healthier, and easier.
The hero? The Shark FlexStyle - a game-changing multi-use tool that dries, curls, smooths, volumises, and diffuses without the heat damage of traditional tools. It automatically wraps hair for effortless curls, adjusts airflow and temperature intelligently, and transforms from a powerful hair dryer into a full styling system in seconds.
No gimmicks. Just great hair, faster.
Insider Tricks for Big Hair Energy
Want the best results? These quick tricks will level up your routine-whether you're after high-volume glam or lived-in texture:
- Start with towel-dried hair and use the oval brush attachment to lift at the roots-brushing against your part adds extra volume.
- For natural-looking curls, use the auto-wrap barrels on small sections. Switch the curl direction halfway through for a more effortless, undone finish.
- Let curls cool completely before brushing out. Use fingers or a wide-tooth comb to keep the shape soft and bouncy.
- Diffuse with intention! Instead of scrunching, hover the diffuser at the roots to define curls and boost volume without frizz.
- Chasing that ‘90s blowout? Flip your head upside down, dry in sections, then seal with the cool shot for long-lasting shape and bounce.

Chris Appleton + Shark = Hair Goals Unlocked
It’s hard to talk about modern hair without mentioning Chris Appleton - the man behind some of the most iconic styles of the last decade. Known for his high-gloss finishes and sculptural shapes, Appleton has become the go-to for celebrities who want hair that holds a headline. But beyond the glam, what sets him apart is his ability to simplify the process. His partnership with Shark Beauty reflects that same ethos: great hair shouldn’t be complicated. Whether he’s creating a glassy bun for the Met Gala or beachy bends for a campaign shoot, Appleton proves that precision and ease can coexist.
