Sally HershbergerHer Work:

For the world, she may have gotten her ride to fame from Meg Ryan's celebrated shag, but the inside story is that working for a California celebrity salon (Arthur Johns) established the relationships that allowed her talent to go nuclear. Photo sessions with Herb Ritts; trendset styling for Michelle Pfeiffer, Jon Bon Jovi and John Mayer; film set consulting and top magazine covers all culminated in her bi-coastal salons in New York and Los Angeles.

Why She's Influential: Her clients include Roger Federer, Donna Karan, Tom Cruise, Kate Capshaw, Steven Spielberg, Natasha Richardson, Sandra Bullock, Winona Ryder, Hillary Clinton, Neve Campbell, Courtney Love, Heather Graham, Faith Hill, Julia Roberts, Cindy Crawford, Gretchen Mol, Calista Flockhart, Jane Fonda and Kate Moss. 

Who Influences Her: "I draw my inspiration from art, architecture and photography. Some artists who move me include Helmut Newton, Anne Leibovitz, Rankin and Warhol."
