TEEN VOGUE Fashion University 2008

If you think of hairstyling as an art, then Rodney Cutler is a modern-day Michelangelo. At 16, when most Australian teenagers are thinking of everything but careers, Rodney's hair styling career began in one of Australia's leading hair salons. After relocating to New York in 1992, Rodney landed a job at the famous Bumble and Bumble salon, exposing him to the highest level of hair styling. He used this experience, partnering with Nick Arrojo to open the Arrojo Cutler Salon in 1998. Three years later, as his success and reputation skyrocketed, Rodney opened the Cutler/Redken Salon and Cutler SOHO. The noted celebrity hair stylist, who works 25 shows per season, has started Cutler Education teaching his skills to aspiring stylists.
