Influencers Ken Eurich & Tana Mongeau Converse Out Towards Unhealthy Stylists

There may be lots of perks to being a famous influencer, but apparently working with stylists isn’t one of them.

TikTok influencer Ken Eurich recently opened up about her terrible experience with hiring a professional stylist to style her when she attended the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. 

“I feel like enough time has passed where I can now joke about the fact that I was almost forced into wearing a slickback bun and a blazer for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,” Eurich said in a TikTok video.

She then went on to explain that Victoria’s Secret had a specific bra they wanted her to wear for the event, but they didn’t send the moodboard for the full looks until about a week before the event, so she decided to hire a stylist to minimize the stress for herself.

Unfortunately, that is far from what ended up happening.

“Stylists are not cheap, stylists are like $2,500 usually, minimum,” Eurich clarified in the video.

She then explained that the stylist herself did not show up, but rather, sent an assistant, who came in with “a sh** ton of blazers” for her to try on. 

“I’m a little nervous because I’m like ‘Respectfully if I’m paying $2,500 I want to be put in an elevated, cool look that I wouldn’t style myself in,’” she continued. “And a blazer and a bra is not my idea of revolutionary. It’s not super cool.”

After trying on a few of the blazers, Eurich was honest with the stylist’s assistant that she wasn’t really into the idea of wearing a blazer. 

“Guys, I kid you not, the way you would’ve thought that I murdered someone, the way that everybody started acting when I said I did not wanna wear a blazer,” she said.

However, the assistant was not taking no for an answer, and continued to push more blazers onto Eurich, saying it was what the stylist wanted to see her in. 

Then, after Eurich refused the blazers upwards of 15 times, she overheard the assistant telling her manager that the stylist also wanted her to put her hair in a slickback bun. 

This brought on a new level of frustration for Eurich, who was fully aware that people had been hating on Victoria’s Secret for giving their models slickback hairstyles rather than their signature bouncy blowouts at the previous year’s show. 

“This is now lacking social awareness to me. This is lacking awareness that I would hope you would have as a stylist to be like ‘No, they’re known for the blowouts, we gotta do a blowout,’” Eurich explained.

Ultimately, Eurich ended up completely styling herself for the event, feeling like she wasted her money hiring a stylist.

Apparently, Eurich is not the only influencer to have a bad experience with professional stylists, because others soon began to share their stories.

Fellow influencer Tana Mongeau chimed in saying that she has been working with her stylist Justine Logue for several years now because she refuses to work with anyone else after so many bad experiences. 

“I have met so many Los Angeles stylists that are diabolical!” Mongeau said in a TikTok. “Stylists will call you fat, like you’ll show up to a thing and they’ll be like ‘Nothing f***ing fits you’ and they’ll get so upset. I’ve had that happen to me, I’ve also seen that happen to other people.”

Mongeau also clarified that the stylist’s attitude is also an important part of the equation.

“I also feel like a stylist is a very interesting thing if mixed with, like, ego and narcissism,” Mongeau continued. “That’s another reason why I like Justine, I feel like she’s not very egotistical. She’s just kinda like ‘These clothes are dope, and if you wanna wear them, wear them.’”

Another influencer, Madeleine White, also weighed in on the incident.

Posting a TikTok to her second account, she praised Eurich for speaking out and said, “Celebrity stylists don’t want to work with influencers. They don’t wanna work with you, they want to work with the singers and the actors and we are how they get paid, and they act like it.” 

She went on to explain that she had once hired a stylist that she had seen to amazing looks for other people that ended up being a huge let down for her.

In the end, the only things she took from them were a ring and a pair of shoes, coordinating her designer dress and hair and makeup looks all by herself. 

However, the stylist still charged her $3,000 for the service and took full credit for her look. 

“And I’ve never hired a stylist again. So, that was my experience with a stylist, and yeah, they just don’t wanna work with us,” White concluded.
