About

Dennis returns to his Southern roots after 25 years
working as one of the most sought-after hairdressers in
New York City, Miami and Los Angeles.
​
In Hollywood, he landed the gig-of-a-lifetime as the
celebrity hairstylist for Paula Abdul on the reality
television show, AMERICAN IDOL.
​
His glamorous looks have been seen in magazines,
on runways and on red carpets everywhere, including
the OSCARS, the EMMYS, and the GRAMMYS.
​
Creating hairstyles for the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars cheerleaders and being named the Salon Artistic Director inside the 5-Star, Montage Inn Palmetto Bluff,
the site of Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin's wedding,
are two favorite Southern bookings.
​
Dennis now provides private appointments in
Bluffton, South Carolina at Belfair Beauty Suites.

"It is very rare that you find someone as special as Dennis. I am always amazed at what he is able to do. I give him full autonomy with my hair and trust him implicitly because he's come through for me so many times in the past. Dennis is a genius when it comes to styling hair."
