Kenneth Battelle–可以说是第一位获得名人身份的理发师 – 本周末在86岁时去世。这证明了Battelle的不可思议的天赋，即使那些不熟悉他名字的人也钦佩他的作品。 88岁的Battelle与琼·里弗斯（Joan Rivers）一起成名，当他向包括第一夫人杰奎琳·肯尼迪（Jacqueline Kennedy）在内的客户发出嘘声并远离20世纪50年代僵硬，不屈的头发时，他的名声越来越大。他开创了卷发，褪色的头发，这是20世纪60年代早期的标志。 “虽然这种风格在今天看起来不自然，但它远离了永久波浪的技巧和头发和行为的刚性，” 引诱 主编Linda Wells。 “他的影响力巨大。”
肯尼迪绰号Battelle为“美容秘书”，但其他人都称他为Kenneth。他的客户名单包括好莱坞名人和社会设施，如奥黛丽赫本，布鲁克阿斯特，露西尔鲍尔和朱迪加兰。 （他的第一份工作，在锡拉丘兹的Starlet Beauty Bar酒吧，有点谦虚 – 他看到灰狗巴士站和妓女构成了他的客户。）当她的头发掉下来时，Battelle也着名帮助玛丽莲梦露出来并称她为“肯塔基先生生日快乐”。
不过，巴特尔从来没有夸大自己的重要性或名气。尽管与肯尼迪和梦露合影，但他一般都没有和他的客户交往。 “我记得Joan Rivers说的 引诱 肯尼斯建议她不要把他带到社交活动中，因为他担心这样会削弱她与理发师见面的地位，“威尔斯说。
他的四层美容院有自己的声誉。 “我记得在20世纪80年代中期访问东54街的肯尼斯沙龙，”威尔斯说。 “他的沙龙是各种看似反对的社会派别的一个意想不到的中心。这里是Helen Gurley Brown，性别小猫编辑 大都会， 女权运动的领导者格洛丽亚·斯坦内姆（Gloria Steinem）都在同一屋檐下。这是一个令人难以想象的别致 – 一个完整的联排别墅，由Billy Baldwin设计，头盔吹风机和美丽的瓷器茶具下有印花棉布。我认为它看起来很像他的客户的家，他的女人在那里很舒服，聊天和闲逛，好像他们在私人避难所。“
在Battelle于1990年失去他的沙龙火之后，他继续在赫尔姆斯利皇宫酒店和后来的Waldorf-Astoria做他喜欢的事情，证明最终真正的吸引力在肯尼斯 – 男人和他的剪刀。 “所有顾客和发型人之间都有关系，”他曾说过。 “这是一项贴心的服务，你觉得与卖鞋子时的情况有点不同。”

Kenneth Battelle, who can be said to be the first celebrity hairstylist, passed away at the age of 86 this weekend. This proves Battelles incredible talent, which is admired even by those who are not familiar with his name. Battelle rose to fame with Joan Rivers at the age of 88, and his reputation grew as he whistled and moved away from the stiff, unyielding hair of the 1950s, including clients such as First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. He pioneered curly hair and faded hair, which became a hallmark of the early 1960s. “Although this style looks unnatural today, it is far from the technique of permanent waves and the rigidity of hair and behavior,” said editor-in-chief Linda Wells. “His influence is enormous.” Kennedy nicknamed Battelle the “beauty secretary,” but others called him Kenneth. His client list included Hollywood celebrities and social facilities such as Audrey Hepburn, Brooke Astor, Lucille Ball, and Judy Garland. (His first job at the Starlet Beauty Bar in Syracuse was a bit humble – he saw Greyhound bus stations and prostitutes as his clients.) Battelle also famously helped Marilyn Monroe when her hair fell out and called her “Mr. Kentuckys Happy Birthday.” However, Battelle never exaggerated his importance or fame. Despite taking photos with Kennedy and Monroe, he generally did not socialize with his clients. “I remember Joan Rivers saying that Kenneth suggested she not bring him to social events because he was afraid it would weaken her position with the hairstylist,” Wells said. His four-story beauty salon has its own reputation. “I remember visiting Kenneths salon on East 54th Street in the mid-1980s,” Wells said. “His salon was an unexpected center of seemingly opposing social factions. Here were Helen Gurley Brown, the sex kitten editor of Cosmopolitan, and Gloria Steinem, the leader of the feminist movement, under the same roof. It was an unimaginable chic – a complete row house designed by Billy Baldwin, with helmet hair dryers and beautiful porcelain tea sets under printed cotton fabrics. I think it looks like his clients homes, where his women are comfortable chatting and wandering around, as if they were in a private sanctuary.” After Battelle lost his salon in 1990, he continued to do what he loved at the Helmsley Palace Hotel and later at the Waldorf-Astoria, proving that the real attraction is
