Hairstylist Kim Vō, whose prestigious client list included Gwyneth Paltrow, Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton, has died after a seven-year battle with colon cancer.
He was 55.
“My beloved husband, best friend, partner in life & business, Kim Vō, has taken his final breath,” Vō’s husband Adeel Khan announced in an Instagram post Saturday night.
“Diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2018, he fought valiantly, winning many battles along the way and exceeding all medical expectations under the care of Dr. Lawrence Piro and his incredible team at Angeles Clinic and Cedars-Sinai. Ultimately, God decided it was time for our angel on earth to return home.”
Hilton’s younger sister Nicky shared her condolences to Khan’s Instagram over the weekend.
“Sending so much love,” she commented under his post.
“He was such a kind and sweet person.”
Vō was previously named the “best blonder in the business” by Vogue for his skills as a hair colorist, which launched his career in Hollywood, according to PEOPLE.
He also served as a judge on Bravo’s reality competition series “Shear Genius” and starred in Paramount+’s “Blowing LA.”
In lieu of flowers, Khan asked in the post that those interested donate to the Kim Vō Foundation in support of hair, beauty, and fashion creatives also affected by cancer.
