INTERVIEW WITH RYAN PEARL CELEBRITY COLORIST and BLNDN BRAND AMBASSADOR W e are proud to welcome Ryan Pearl as the newest BLNDN Ambassador. This NYC-based artist has a knack for effortless blondes and the natural looking highlights that we all dream of. He has acquired a serious clientele of celebrity “it” girls, whom we envy for their gorgeous simplicity. We recently got to chat with Ryan about his past, where he is now, and what he feels is ahead in his future in hair. Ryan grew up watching his hairdresser mom and thinking he wanted to be a barber, but during his time in cosmetology school, realized his insatiable talent for color. Being from New Jersey, he was close enough to watch, and fall in love with, the vibe and clients’ style of the Manhattan salons. Being a close friend of Cutler’s owner Rodney, he helped open the Brooklyn location and remains very active with the Cutler brand as a whole. Ryan has stayed true to himself and his aesthetic by not following trends, but rather sticking to a natural style, and infusing that into custom colors with each client. He is constantly asked about his future and possibilities, but he always responds with no interest in opening up his own salon-- his true passion lies at Cutler. It’s somewhere that provides the best education and helps him do his job well. 6 BLNDN We fell so in love with Ryan’s talent for his naturally fluid and beautiful color that we sent BLNDN’s very own Lauren to take a seat in his chair and be a part of his transformation repertoire. Below is a little insight into Ryan’s world of hair and why he loves being a part of BLNDN.
