Beyoncé's New Hair Leaves Longtime Stylist 'Teary-Eyed'

Beyoncé's stylist, Kim Kimble, has revealed she had no idea the singer was going to chop her hair off

Beyoncé's new short hair shocked everyone, not least her longtime stylist Kim Kimble, who found out the star had gone for the dramatic chop when she saw the snaps on Instagram. Just like the rest of us.

Kim says she was completely surprised by Beyoncé's new look and had no idea the singer was planning on making such a bold move.

BEYONCE UNVEILS SUPER-SHORT NEW CROP

'I got a little teary-eyed!' she told People. 'I’ve been working for her so long, she has this beautiful long hair and it’s hard to grow hair out. I feel like it’s my hair, I work so much with her. I feel a little emotional but excited for her too. Maybe I’ll cut my hair off now. Short hair, don’t care!'

There had been rumours that rather than chopping her tresses, Beyoncé had just removed her weave or extensions, but that wasn't the case, according to Kim.

'She had great, thick long hair, which she cut off because she’s ready to make a statement. It’s a great [one] to make: I’m beautiful, sexy, bold and I can do it all. She’s the perfect model for that: A working woman, mom, superstar, businesswoman. She’s powerful in herself.'

Bey's new crop has caused a few problems for Kim, who is due to style the superstar for a video shoot this weekend, but now has to come up with a whole new plan for Beyoncé's look.

She said: 'I had a whole plan laid out. I wanted to do a retro ‘50s type of hair. It won’t be the long, wavy, typical hair, but I’m really excited to do something different. No matter what, she knows I’ll give her what she wants!'
