Megan Fox's Hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons's Career Story
Andrew Fitzsimons's Rise to Hairstylist For the Biggest Names in Hollywood

Fitzsimons's first celebrity gig didn't come quick. "I said yes to everything because I knew even if I didn't love the idea of a certain job, there would be a stylist there that I could talk to or a photographer or maybe the model."
Then, came the opportunity of a lifetime: working with Adele for the release of her album, "21." Immediately after, the doors flew open. He went on to do hair for Mariah Carey, who he worked with for years. "We just got on as human beings," Fitzsimons says.
One of his most notable clients today is Megan Fox, who he met randomly on a job. "I was aware of her image, which was very, very alluring to me — I love vampness, I love darkness, I love the Vampira gothic kind of vixen-y siren vibe. I knew it was going to be really interesting to work with her." The pair immediately bonded. "She is a very witchy person and so am I," Fitzsimons says. "If I had my way, she would be Morticia Adams every f*cking day of the week."
With Fox, Fitzsimons could really play with fashion, like for the 2021 Video Music Awards where Fox wore a diamond see-through naked dress. For that event, Fitzsimons interpreted the look as "a '50s film noir vixen that just came out of the ocean whose body is glistening in the moonlight," and her hair reflected that with the wet look.
"All of the clients that I'm closest to are a little bit more old school," he says. "Not necessarily tethered to pop culture, social media, or trends — we're outliers. Megan is one of my closest clients. Khloé is the exact same: she's a rebel spirit, a bit of an outlier."
