Kendall Jenner's "old money" blonde. Kaia Gerber's "liquid brunette" locks. EmRata's iconic "cowboy copper." Behind every one of these jaw-dropping transformations is Jenna Perry, a celebrity colorist known for her effortless, "hot girl hair" techniques and a knack for coining the buzziest hair trends. (Does "cherry cola" ring a bell? Yeah, that was Perry!)

Her NYC salon is essentially a revolving door of celebs, so of course her holiday beauty recs are very It girl-coded. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say her gift guide is the closest it comes to a beauty lover's bible (at least in my opinion!). She shares lots of pro haircare staples, yes, but she also drops underrated fragrance finds that simply ooze cool. Below, discover the swoon-worthy shopping list.
