R+Co recently welcomed a dozen new hairdressers and stylists to its core Collective with the recent launch of R+Co BLEU – a couture-caliber sister collection from R+Co.
Anthony Campbell, Aviva Perea,Bobby Eliot,Clariss Rubenstein,Clayton Hawkins, Ericka Verrett, Jenny Cho, Kylee Heath, Lona Vigi,Mimi Cuttrell, Priscilla Valles and Sami Knight recently joined the R+Co family and will collaborate with the brand on creating content, product development and community engagement.
With decades of combined hairdressing experience, the new members round out the current Collective and bring a keen editorial eye, diverse perspective and artist’s craft to the mix and helped influence the brand’s latest collection and first fully-sustainable luxury hair care line – R+Co BLEU.
“The new collective members each bring a unique perspective to the brand. It is that diversity in perspective that has always been a hallmark of R+Co – where a collaborative approach to developing products, education and content is part of the brand’s DNA. Rather than focusing on a singular perspective, the Collective can debate and build upon each other’s experiences. That’s the beautiful thing about a team – you can add people and bring new ideas, try different things and really have fun creating something that’s never been done before,” says Daniel Langer, R+Co President.
Combined, the A-Frame stylists have been long sought after for photo shoots, red carpet events, fashion shows and films. They have also worked with some of the world’s most well-known photographers, powerhouse brands and celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman, Liam Hemsworth, Dua Lipa, Mindy Kaling, Ellie Goulding, Jennifer Garner, Emma Roberts and Miranda Kerr, among others.
“Partnering with R+Co has been an absolute dream. They are beyond just a hair care brand. What sets R+Co apart is the diverse collective of hair geniuses behind the scenes that inspire and bring each product to life. The products are not only incredibly effective, but the brand aims to inspire and educate stylists and consumers. As a stylist, there is nothing more exciting than to discover and play with the newest R+Co product. This partnership was sparked by true joy, and I cannot wait to see what is to come,” says Jenny Cho, Hair Stylist and R+Co Collective Member.
“I have had a crush on R+Co since I laid eyes on it. The line is curated so well – from the scent, names, look and performance. It’s an honor to be working with them and I’m thrilled about the BLEU line! It’s so luxurious and indulgent in the best, most eco-conscious way,” says Kylee Heath, Hair Stylist and R+Co Collective Member.
