Does Zendaya run her hairstylist’s life like she runs the red carpet? According to her longtime glam guru Coree Moreno, the answer is a resounding YES—and honestly, we’re kind of obsessed.
In a candid chat with ET, Moreno didn’t hold back about what it’s REALLY like to be the person responsible for keeping Zendaya’s tresses camera-ready 24/7. And let us tell you, sis comes PREPARED. “She knows exactly what she wants when she sits in my chair,” Moreno gushed, and we’re reading between those lines like the hair of a perfectly styled lob. Translation? Zendaya doesn’t just show up and wing it—this girl has a VISION, and if you can’t execute it flawlessly, you’re getting the side-eye.
The hairstylist spilled that bringing Zendaya’s wildest hair fantasies to life is basically his whole job. From gravity-defying updos to color transformations that would make even a chameleon jealous, Moreno is out here serving LOOKS on demand. But here’s the tea: working with someone who has such specific aesthetics means you can’t just phone it in. This isn’t your average “trim and highlights” situation. This is haute couture hair, baby.
What’s actually refreshing about Zendaya’s approach? She’s not one of those celebrities who shows up late, changes her mind seventeen times, and blames the stylist when the photos don’t match her Instagram feed. No ma’am. According to Moreno, Z comes prepared with inspiration, clear communication, and the respect to let a professional do their job. Revolutionary, we know.
Fans are absolutely LIVING for this insider peek into Zendaya’s process. Social media has been BUZZING with comments like “That’s why her hair is always perfect!” and “I respect the vision.” Others are pointing out that this is exactly why celebrities with seemingly impossible beauty standards actually maintain them—they have teams who understand their aesthetic on a spiritual level.
The real question everyone’s asking? Could WE ever have that kind of clarity about our own style? Probably not, but watching Zendaya have it is the closest we’ll get to living that fantasy.
What do you think? A) Zendaya’s approach to beauty is goals and more celebs should be this prepared B) Expecting this level of perfection from your stylist is unrealistic
