Awards

What they said

“Zoltan is the undisputed King of the Keratin treatments. He has made me fall in love with my hair again after I had been damaging it for years with inadequate harsh treatments and straightening.”

Alessandra Steinherr, Beauty Director, Glamour UK

“Zoltan is the master of hair retexturising; he customises his Keratin blends to smooth, straighten, dekink and defrizz any head of hair and has revolutionised my daily diy blow dry from half an hour of hard work to five minutes of effortless styling.”

Nadine Baggott, Health & Beauty Editor, Hello! Magazine · ITV Beauty Presenter

“Zoltan's reputation as ‘king of the Keratin treatments’ is well deserved. His easy manner combines with instinctive artistry to deliver an experience as pleasurable as it is beautifying.”

Rosie Green, Beauty Editor at Large, RED Magazine

“If I could only have one beauty treatment it would be Zoltan's keratin blowdry. It has changed my life. I can go from the shower, via the school run and into the office looking polished and glossy having only spent 10 minutes on a rough blowdry.”

Eugenie Hanmer, Executive Fashion Director, Harper's Bazaar & Town & Country

“If you want to look like you just stepped out of a salon, every day for six months, book in to see Zoltan – his are the only Keratin Treatments that last.”

Katy Young, Beauty Editor, The Telegraph

“Working alongside Zoltan has opened my eye to texture. Not only his many ways of expertly dealing with difficult texture but his ability to add texture to hair that is limp and needs body is revolutionary.”

Josh Wood, Wella Professional Global Creative Director, 2015

“Who would have thought that me, Laura with the frizzy hair, could have gone to a hot country like Greece and have this hair without straightening it? […] I had Japanese straightening done at @zoltanhair […] I haven’t straightened my hair in weeks now and it doesn’t puff up or frizz anymore […] I’m living the hair dream!”

Laura J Hyatt, fashion blogger, on Instagram

“Meet @zoltan_hair - the smooth hair magician who is pretty much every beauty editor's best kept secret. He delivered me from my lifelong battle with frizzy hair”

Alessandra Steinherr, beauty director, on Instagram

Questions you're too polite to ask

Why aren't you in the magazines any more?

I stopped, almost without noticing. The name started bringing people who came for the name, and the clients I'd looked after for twenty years couldn't get an appointment. So I said no to the features. The best press I get now is never printed: it's someone at a dinner table asking "who does your hair?" The full story is below.

Which magazines have you been in?

Pretty much every one that counts: Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Tatler, HELLO!, The Sunday Times Style, Glamour, Elle, The Telegraph, the Daily Mail and more. Every feature is on this page.

Can I see the originals?

Most of them: the original page, a scan of the cutting or the video. Some older features are no longer online and I don't have the cutting to show. Those say so, and they're listed from my own records.

Why is some of it years old?

Because I stopped chasing press years ago. The work didn't stop; my book is full of people who came through a friend, not a feature.

Are you still the hairdresser in those articles?

Yes. Same hands, same chair, and it's just me: perming since 1991, straightening since 1999.

I'm a journalist or a brand. Can I get in touch?

Yes: care@zoltan-hair.com. Tell me what it is for.
