Barb Thompson

Barb Thompson has been cutting, coloring, and styling hair professionally for over twenty years — three of them assisting one of Hollywood's most in-demand celebrity stylists before stepping out on her own. She splits her time between salons in Northern California and Silver Lake, Los Angeles, where she cuts, colors, and styles for a regular client base alongside editorial and celebrity bookings. She is a global cutting educator for R+Co, which means she trains other stylists in technique and philosophy. Her editorial credits include Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Who What Wear, Oprah, and Mane Addicts. She is the go-to hair expert for the Fat Mascara podcast.
