The founder of Mane Addicts uses Instagram to show her 737,000+ followers what it’s like to “poke and prod” (as she puts it) the roots of almost the entire Kardashian clan, while keeping her celebrity subjects smiling. Believe us: After a marathon session in the chair, that’s half the battle.

Rita Hazan

Some celeb stylists are too cool for school to ask for (and post!) selfies with their big-name clients. Not Rita: Her Instagram gives her 21,000+ followers a mix of memes, studio shots, and pics of her kicking it with Miley, Jessica Biel, and close friend Jessica Simpson (who has used Rita as her secret weapon for the past 15 years).
