Session stylist and former It List Fashionista winner, Cyndia Harvey, and celebrity colourist and stylist Ben Gregory, are the UK talents that have been unveiled as part of the first Global Creative Contributor group from L’Oréal Professionnel.

A Dazed 100 member and contributing beauty editor at Dazed magazine, Cyndia grew up in her mother’s salon in Jamaica. She moved to London, working in one of London’s busiest hair salons with a focus on Afro hair, before becoming the first assistant of session legend Sam McKnight. World-famous names she’s worked with include FKA Twigs, Naomi Campbell, Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean.

Ben’s portfolio spans editorial, runway and campaign jobs, working with photographers such as Mert & Marcus, David Sims and Glen Luchford. His campaign and show credits include Gucci, Moschino, Valentino, Versace, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana. He ignited the viral ‘Cherry Cola’ trend with Dua Lipa’s transformation from black to blood red, and was noted with “killing Ken” after returning Ryan Gosling to his natural sandy hue following his bleach-blonde ‘Barbie’-era look.

The Global Creative Contributors are long-term creative partners, selected to actively “contribute to shaping the future of professional hair”, working to co-develop content, hair events and professional insights.
