At 17-years old Dennis DeVoy already knew he wanted to be a professional hairstylist and began to work towards this goal.

He arrived in New York from his home state of Wisconsin in 1994 and immediately started to stake his claim in the industry. He spent four years honing his skills at famed salon Garren, during which time he also built up his portfolio by assisting freelance hairstylists.

Since making the transition to working solely as a freelance hair stylist, DeVoy has found himself in demand working with some of the most prominent photographers in the fashion and beauty industries including Nathaniel Goldberg, Annie Leibovitz, David Bailey, Tom Munro, Patrick Demarchelier, Arthur Elgort, Irving Penn, Horst Diekgerdes, Jenny Gage & Tom Betterton, Richard Avedon, Glen Luchford, Enrique Badulescu, and Stephane Sednaoui.

DeVoy’s advertising credits are just as extensive with his expertise being sought out by such notable brands as L’Oreal, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Barney’s New York, Saks Fifth Avenue, Perry Ellis, BCBG, Max Mara, Charles David, Liz Claiborne, Aeropostale, American Eagle and Abercrombie & Fitch among others. While his editorial work is featured in many of the world’s leading magazines such as Vogue, L'Uomo Vogue, Vogue Nippon, Vogue China, Teen Vogue, W, Harper’s Bazaar, Another Magazine, V, Numero, Flair, 10 and The New York Times.

Another indicator of DeVoy’s talent is the impressive list of celebrities with whom he has worked. Among his favorites are David Bowie, Tilda Swinton, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chloe Sevigny, Lauren Hutton, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Chan Marshal (of the music group Cat Power).

Dennis DeVoy is based in New York City.
