Sally Hershberger (born 1961)[1] is an American hair stylist known for her bicoastal salons, a line of hair products, creating Meg Ryan’s signature choppy-style haircut, the “Sally Shag”, and appearing on the Bravo reality show, Shear Genius.

The character of Shane on the TV series The L Word is rumored to be based on Hershberger. [2]

Early life

Born in Kansas, she moved to California after high school.[1] Hershberger began cutting hair after her mother told her she needed to do something with her life when she turned 18.[3] She started working with Arthur Johns as a hair stylist and then was assigned to tour with Olivia Newton-John, which "propelled her career," according to the Los Angeles Times.[3] On the tour, she met photographer Herb Ritts, who had an influence on her aesthetic sensibilities.[4]

Career

Hershberger created Meg Ryan's shag haircut.[5] She also styled the hair for the First Family (the Obamas) for an article that was featured in Vogue.[6] She also is a co-creator, with John Frieda, of two hair care lines started in the 90s called Sheer Blonde and Beach Blonde.[5][6] These lines brought in $50 million of the companies $120 million annual revenues, according to Gail Federici, former president of John Frieda Professional Hair Care.[7] In 2008, she started her first "solo hair care line," called Supreme Mead.[8] Hershberger has also created a jeans and T-shirt line called Shagg Downtown collection which was set to release in 2006.[9] The line was targeted for "better specialty stores."[10]

She is reportedly the first stylist in New York to charge US$600.00 for a haircut. She currently charges US$800.00 for a haircut.[11] According to an article posted in the Palm Beach Post, she is the "first woman to achieve the status of an Oribe or Frederic Fekkai."[4]

Hershberger has also been featured on the Bravo reality television series, Shear Genius.[6]
