Supermodel Amber Valletta And Hairstylist Teddy Charles On Being Partners In Life And Business

Welcome to “Hair Me Out,” where we pull up a chair with the industry’s top hairstylists, scalp experts and hair-care authorities to talk shop, myths and everything in between — including their hottest takes, most controversial opinions and the hard truths the industry doesn’t say out loud enough.

In addition to being an iconic supermodel and longtime fashion industry hairstylist (respectively), Amber Valletta and Teddy Charles are also partners in life — and, with the recent launch of their hair-care brand Maison Beaux — business. Having met on the set of a magazine shoot more than a decade ago, the duo brings their years of industry expertise, commitment to sustainability and natural ingredients, as well as impeccable taste, to the brand, which debuted last month with five SKUs.

The carefully considered formulas are color-safe, cruelty-free and designed to work on all hair types; they incorporate emerging beauty tech like exosomes as well as “clean,” biodegradable ingredients and have been blessed by pro hairstylists and dermatologists alike. “We were able to combine high performance and advanced ‘clean’ science,” Charles told Fashionista in an interview for our “Hair Me Out” series.

Meanwhile, Valetta considers all of the formulas her “babies,” but is especially obsessed with the mask, which she said “really represents the brand” and is her “treatment hero.” We took the opportunity to chat all things hair with the duo, getting into what it’s like to build a business with your romantic partner, the beauty tips Valletta picked up during her many years on set and even one of the past hairstyles she recalls as “not a good look” — yes, even all-time supermodel greats an have bad hair days, it turns out.

See what the duo had to say in the video below.
