The beauty world is mourning the loss of Kim Vo, the celebrity hairstylist who became a household name thanks to his work with A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Britney Spears. At just 55, he passed away after a courageous battle with colorectal cancer, a fight he faced valiantly since his diagnosis in 2018. His husband, Adeel Khan, shared a touching message on social media, reflecting on their life together and expressing profound grief at their parting.
Vo was more than just a stylist; he was a vibrant force in the industry, known both for his dazzling artistry and personality that lit up every room. He also made impactful appearances on TV as a judge on Bravo’s“Shear Genius”and through his work on“Extreme Makeover.”Following his passing, the outpouring of love from fans and fellow celebrities alike speaks volumes to the deep connections he forged throughout his life.
In his final wish, Vo requested fans to support the Kim Vō Foundation, which aims to help hair and beauty professionals affected by cancer. He leaves behind not just a legacy of stunning hair transformations but also a call to give back to an industry that’s often overlooked when it comes to supporting those in need.
