RICHARD PHILLIPART

Starting in hairdressing aged 13, Richard was instantly hooked on the industry. Spending any free time he could in the salon watching and learning, he quickly gained his qualifications and excelled – producing his own artisan hair show aged just 16.  However, by the age of 22 Richard felt constrained and wanted the opportunity to grow and advance his career, and he decided to move on.  Richard opened The Boutique aged just 22 with one idea in mind, to create the type of salon he wanted to work in – where the craft of hairdressing is always put first, skills and passion are developed and championed, and clients can be sure they always receive the very best the industry has to offer. Richard has a talented team of 21 multi-award-winning hairdressers. Richard is one of the UK’s most in-demand stylists, with his skills being called upon by some of the world’s largest brands in luxury haircare. He writes, educates and instructs worldwide at academies from Canada to Dubai. His biggest passion within hairdressing is education, not only for his own team and students but also for himself as he constantly keeps up-to-date with the very latest cutting and styling techniques, spending time studying regularly at Vidal Sassoon in London. He has also studied at the prestigious Central St. Martins University of Fashion in London. Richard’s passion for hairdressing has seen him amass a cult fashion following with runways and fashion shoots where he is internationally in demand to design hairstyles for luxury brands. Richard works backstage at all the major fashion weeks across the world, including New York, London, Milan and Paris. He has styled hair for brands including Chanel, Balenciaga, Vivienne Westwood, Burberry, Dior, Kenzo, Chloe and many many more.  Richard has styled the hair for advertising campaigns for fashion brands such as Erdem & ZARA of which featured on the ZARA websites across the world and in over 2000 stores in 96 countries.

Richard spends a few days each week shooting editorials in London as well as taking private clients at The Boutique Atelier. In 2022, Richard received the highest accolade a hairdresser can receive when he was asked to attend the final awards dinner of a hugely popular Hairstyling industry competition. Richard introduced his surrealist hair show “Cabinet of Curiosities” to the industry, making him the youngest independent salon owner in the pageant’s 68-year history to receive this honor.
