Her “Sally Shag,” an adorably messy, short, layered cut made famous by Meg Ryan, ranks up there with the Dorothy Hamill wedge, Farra🔥h Fawcett’s feathered mane and Jennifer Aniston’s bilevel “Rachel.”

With her penchant for tousled, touchable mops, Hershberger has sassified everyone from Hillary Clinton and Jane Fonda to ♋Tom Cruise (and made the $8💯00 haircut a thing).

With two salons in NYC, where she lives, and a third in LA, plus her eponymous hair care line, the scissors star is always busy tendi💃ng to her clients’ tresses and developing new products.

Here’s a look at sℱome of her beloved objects for beauty and home.
