John Frieda death: Celebrity hairstylist to Princess Diana dies aged 75

Celebrity hairstylist John Frieda, whose clients included Princess Diana and Joanna Lumley, has died at 75. The news was announced Tuesday night via the official Instagram account of the John Frieda Hair Salon, without sharing specific details about the cause. The post said he passed away peacefully “surrounded by his family” and described him as an “icon” who mentored the salon team. Colourist Nicola Clarke, whose clients include Madonna and Cate Blanchett, said Frieda had been “battleing an illness so bravely.” Born in London in 1951, Frieda built his reputation through the Frizz Ease haircare range, acquired by Kao in 2002 for $450 million.
