About this episode
In this episode of Skin Anarchy , Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos for an honest look at what it really takes to shape iconic hair moments in Hollywood and beyond. From growing up in Thessaloniki with a dream that defied family expectations, to styling the biggest stars on the planet, Dimitris’s story is proof that fearlessness and timeless skill can take you anywhere. He shares how packing up his thriving career in Greece to move to New York — without fluent English — taught him that staying in your comfort zone is the biggest risk of all. Dimitris explains why hair is far more than a trend: it’s confidence, identity, and self-expression in its purest form. Whether he’s creating Met Gala looks for Kim Kardashian or helping everyday clients find their signature style, his approach is all about modern classics and true individuality. Listeners will hear his unfiltered advice for up-and-coming stylists: know the classics before chasing trends, stay curious, and never just copy-paste the same look for every client. Dimitris also breaks down why simple styles — a sleek ponytail, a clean bun — can feel the most powerful when they honor your natural texture. This episode is your backstage pass to the artistry and attitude behind hair that feels fresh today and timeless tomorrow. Tune in and get inspired to make your style — and your life — truly your own.
