The Best Of 2023: Jay Birmingham’s Top Celebrity Hair Looks

In the whirlwind of 2023, celebrity hairstylist Jay Birmingham has been on an exciting journey, crafting iconic hair looks for his celeb clientele. As the year draws to a close, Jay reveals his favourite styles!

Rochelle’s Iconic Fringe

Finishing off the year with a bang, my first favourite is Rochelle’s fringe for the British Fashion Awards, Rochelle stunned with a bold hair statement—a clip-in fringe crafted by me. I designed a sleek bun to set the stage, utilising Color Wow products for a flawless finish and positioning the bun to accommodate Rochelle’s bob length hair. The custom-made fringe, was pre-cut and blended with her natural hair, took centre stage, perfectly framing Rochelle’s features.

Maya Jama’s Curly Pony

For Love Island, crafting Maya Jama’s long, curly ponytail stands out as one of my top looks in 2023. The challenge lay in melding length and texture seamlessly. I shaped and smoothed her curly locks into a sleek, long ponytail, using precise styling techniques to preserve the natural curls while achieving a refined, polished finish.

Sofia’s Sleek Bun

Creating Sofia Ritchie’s sleek bun for her bridal fittings marked another standout look for me this year. The emphasis was on modern elegance, achieved through a middle parting and braided ends wrapped around in a tight bun for a distinctly contemporary finish. The mix of classic elements like the middle parting with the innovative braided wrapping showcased a seamless blend of tradition and trendiness. This style was sophisticated and served as a testament to the evolving landscape of bridal fashion and Sofia’s ‘old money’ style.

Lori’s Bouncy Short

I went with a short, bouncy bob with a deep side part. Lori can pull off bold styles effortlessly. The short bob was just what her outfit needed – a bit of sass. I spiced up the classic bob by playing with layers and textures. The result? A modern bob that’s chic and playful, the perfect fit for Milanese fashion. I finished it off using Andre Fitzsimons Prism Shine Spray.

Maya’s Mid Length

Lastly, Maya’s mid-length hair on Love Island was another personal favourite, radiating quality with its floating layers. The style was created to exude a sense of weightlessness, where each layer seamlessly transitioned into the next, creating a subtle yet mesmerising effect. Adding depth and dimension to her overall look, Maya effortlessly carried off this style, with a carefree yet chic vibe.
