Soon after, Bethel earned a position assisting world-renowned celebrity hairstylists and she traveled the world styling hair. After gaining experience and knowledge from her mentors, Bethel was able to open her own hair studio in Los Angeles where she built a celebrity and influencer clientele of her own that included Sophia Bush, Marianna Hewitt, Jenna Dewan, Lucy Hale, Chrissy Teigen, Priyanka Chopra, Olivia Culpo, and Bella Hadid.

Working with some of the most influential celebrities in the industry, Bethel is on the cutting edge of the newest trends and best techniques for all of her clients. She specializes in hair cuts, styling and hair extensions, and not only will Bethel give you your best look yet, she’ll also teach you how to maintain your style between salon visits.
