British-born celebrity hairstylist Tim Rogers has died after a brief illness. He was 51 years old.

Based in Latest York for much of his profession, Rogers worked on the now-closed Garren Latest York salon before partnering with Sally Hershberger in 2016 to open her eponymous salon on twenty sixth Street. Most recently, Rogers had been seeing clients at Valery Joseph Salon.

Best known for his structural haircuts, Rogers worked with A-list clients including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Blake Energetic and Roger Federer, also crafting fashion week looks for Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui and Badgley Mischka, amongst others.

“Tim was a generous and loving friend, a gifted artist, avid horseman, gardener and a gracious host. His love prolonged beyond family and friends to his beloved furry companions. His passion for locating and nurturing recent talent was a testament to his craft,” said Rogers’ friend, Chris Holdren.

Born in 1972 in Portsmouth, England, Rogers began his education as a hairstylist at Blinkers Hairdressing Academy in Fareham. He continued his training and Winchester’s Toni and Guy before moving to the U.S. in 1998, where he joined Adam Broderick’s salon in Ridgefield, Conn.

In 2012, Rogers was named as Living Proof’s first creative director, helping to tell the science-based brand’s product development. Said Living Proof’s former chief executive officer, Jill Beraud, on the time: “Tim’s talent reaches far beyond styling hair. He has tremendous experience, technical understanding and real creativity — he isn’t afraid to take an unconventional approach to his work. He is stuffed with recent ideas and can bring one other perspective to our…team of stylists and sweetness experts.”

Tim is survived by his parents, Ian and Barbara Rogers; his brother, Simon Rogers; sister-in-law, Michelle; nephews Oliver, Isaac, Winston and Charlie, and his dogs, Billie, Griffin, Harper and Max, in addition to his horse, Lady Mae.
