Chris Appleton On Leaps Of Faith, Love Languages & Living Life In Colour

Trinny is joined by world-renowned conceptual hairstylist Chris Appleton. 

Welcome to Fearless, the empowering podcast that tells the stories of inspirational people who have overcome challenges and fears in their lives in order to thrive.

Born and raised in Leicester, England, Chris took a leap of faith and moved to Los Angeles in 2016 to pursue his dreams. Fast forward to 2025, and he is now recognised as the mastermind behind some of the most iconic hairstyles of the last decade, with stellar clients including Kim Kardashian, J-Lo and Ariana Grande. Together, he and Trinny take a look back at his remarkable career so far, from working at his local hair salon aged just 13 to becoming the Creative Director of Color Wow. They delve into the origins of his unwavering work ethic, the thrill of making other people feel good about themselves and being able to offer your children the opportunities you never had. 

Plus, they discuss love languages, the fear of coming to terms with who you really are, and what it means to live a colourful life.
