The rockstar hairdresser is the brains behind rock ‘n’ roll’s most coveted haircut on Joan Jett and the creator of Meg Ryan’s supremely ’90s shag. The ultimate in “non-hairdo-hair,” the shag is perhaps even cooler today than it was then—and now, you can learn how to recreate it from the master herself.
