A hairdressing legend, Oribe Canales, has passed away, leaving behind a shocked and saddened industry and brand family, and an incomparable legacy. Oribe lost a battle with illness at the age of 62, after a four decade and much renowned career in the hair world.
Oribe was known for his self-titled luxury brand, his influence as a salon owner and as a hairdresser to the stars for decades. Jennifer Lopez, Miley Cyrus, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and many other stars counted him as a trusted hair advisor (and, often, friend) and tributes have poured in from respected industry representatives and A-listers alike.
Oribe the brand is distributed in Australia through Rogue Beauty, and continues to influence, inform, educate and inspire the community, showing the power of Oribe Canales’ international reach. He has been heralded by famous clients for going beyond aesthetic brilliance, and helping to positively shape how they actually felt about themselves.
“Oribe was a giant in our industry, and his career transcended the fashion and beauty worlds,” said Rogue Beauty’s Jared Fisher. “The enormous outpouring of grief since his passing is testament to how deeply loved and admired he was. All of us in the Oribe family will miss him immensely.”
A true icon whose mark is forever left with his loved ones, his brand and the world of hair at large, we pay tribute to a real legend and send our condolences to the whole Oribe family.
Vale Oribe Canales.
