Tim Rogers, a highly sought-after New York hairstylist known for crafting platinum-standard haircuts for a long list of celebrities, including Roger Federer, Yoko Ono, and Adele, passed unexpectedly on November 3rd at his home in Gaylordsville, Connecticut. The man was fifty years old. His father, Rogers, said that his son died after a brief illness, but he did not provide further details.
Although he spent the majority of his career in New York, Mr. Rogers was born in Britain. He was famous for his infectious charisma, extensive knowledge of disco, and sculptor’s eye for creating eye-catching outfits.
He worked with the renowned hairstylist Garren at his salon at the Henri Bendel department store on Fifth Avenue, and at the Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger salon on the Upper East Side, before partnering with Ms. Hershberger, another high-profile hairstylist, at a salon on West 26th Street in Manhattan in 2016.
“Tim was able to sit with clients and determine exactly what would work best for their style,” Ms. Hershberger wrote in an email. “His overall style was very polished and classic and stylish, with a bit of playfulness — a prototypical British hairstylist, which was unique in New York.”
In the realm of fashion, Mr. Rogers became an institution. His hairstyles were featured in publications such as Town & Country, Vanity Fair, and Vogue, and he worked with renowned photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Norman Jean Roy, and Patrick Demarchelier.
Along the way, he styled models Linda Evangelista and Kate Moss and celebrities Diane Sawyer, Carey Mulligan, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and others for the camera. At New York Fashion Week, he styled the hair of models for designers including Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, and Badgley Mischka, among many others.
In his spare time, he was a style expert who provided Redbook with advice on how to look great and change your look. “Can strip hair of its protective oils, making it dry and dull.” He warned readers in a 2014 beauty advice letter against over-shampooing.
“Use only a nickel-size drop of shampoo on short to medium lengths and a quarter-size dollop for long hair,” he added. “Emulsify it with water in your palm first, then rub it just on your scalp, where hair is most oily.”
Mr. Rogers had a flourishing clientele among the male power elite, in addition to his prominent female clients, who included the Swiss tennis star Roger Federer and President John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg. He admitted in an interview with The New York Times from 2016 that he frequently used a helicopter to whisk hedge fund managers and investment bankers away to the Hamptons to deliver cutbacks.
He claimed that “the requirement is consistency” when it came to male clientele and that, for major players, he was basically available around the clock. His advice was to be reachable at all times. “Their timing is impeccable.” The article claims that his styles and cuts may cost up to $800, so it’s no surprise. He firmly stated, “Everything has a price.”
The southern English city of Portsmouth is the site of Timothy Charles Rogers’ birth on August 11, 1972. His parents, Ian and Barbara (Walsh) Rogers, were both employed by the British Ministry of Defense. He was the younger of their two kids.
According to his dad, he decided that working in an office wasn’t for him after studying business administration at a local college after graduating from the adjacent Crofton School in 1988. He decided to become a hairstylist instead, and he worked at a Winchester Toni & Guy salon until he immigrated to America in 1998.
Around the year 2000, he made New York his permanent home after working at the Adam Broderick salon in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The Living Proof cosmetics business hired Mr. Rogers in 2012 as its creative director, and he became well-known as a QVC shopping network pitchman for the firm’s products.
His mom and brother Simon are among those who have survived him besides his dad. According to Chris Holdren, Mr. Rogers’s ex-longtime lover, “treated everyone like a star, whether they were a celebrity, a model, a C.E.O. or a regular person,” even though he was at the top of his game. “He thought anybody could look stunning and put their best foot forward.”
