Taya Langley is outrageously fun, an assessment that I’m basing entirely off of social media (a terrible measure of anyone’s life or personality), the fact that she called her book Blowing My Way to the Top, and a 30 minute zoom call where she charmed a small group of beauty media and complimented my hair.

The self-described ‘founder/hairstylist’ is one of the world’s most high-profile beauty moguls, having built a personal brand (literally; she has a successful Brand called Top Tier x Taya Alese) and social media following around her ‘cool girl’ hair that she perfects for celebrity clients and on her own head.

Sleek, ‘effortless’ and highly influential: the Taya Langley look has come to define a specific of-the-moment, and very LA, aesthetic. She regularly works with Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, has business meetings with Kris Jenner, holidays with bestie Chrissy Teigen - and offers an inside, albeit

curated, look into her glamourous life to her Instagram followers; famous friends.

Today Taya Langley is sitting in a boardroom at her LA office, her own locks still perfectly sleek after styling it 12 hours earlier that morning. We’re here to talk about all things hair, in the context of her role as global ambassador for Dyson and its line of hair tools - including a new attachment that focuses on smoothing those pesky flyaways caused by environmental impacts, new growth or postnatal breakage.
