You’ve seen him react to DIY dye jobs—but have you taken in his stellar fits?
Don't Sleep on TikTok’s Favorite Hair Stylist’s Killer Fashion Sense
If you’re on TikTok, you’ve likely come across Brad Mondo reacting to an at-home dye job or hair cut: His animated facial expressions, whether he’s appalled, thrilled, or perplexed, are as entertaining as the DIY videos he responds to. Armed with over 7 million followers, Mondo joined the app last year and has since become TikTok’s favorite hair stylist. (He first gained a big following on YouTube, where he has over 6 million subscribers.)
Many creators tag Mondo in their videos, in the hopes of him duet-ing their posts. (“Sorry, Brad Mondo,” they’ll say as they document their unprofessional, at-home attempts). Sometimes he’s horrified at the end results, other times he’s thoroughly impressed. But something that’s just as impressive as Mondo’s knowledge of hair? His sense of style, which is worth a follow alone.
The 26-year-old hair stylist—who is the CEO of his own hair care line, XMONDO Hair, and based in New York City—has the kind of fashion sense that grabs attention on TikTok. His wardrobe is full of graphic, colorful pieces that suit the app’s e-boy sensibility. “I love the punk aesthetic,” Mondo tells Vogue. “Color is also something I’m getting more and more into. The brighter the better.”
Whether he’s doing Charli D’Amelio’s hair in a groovy, disco-style top or reacting to a video while wearing a casual mesh sweater with a tank top underneath, he’s not afraid to switch up his look. “I like becoming an entirely new person every couple of months,” he says. His outfits are heavy on designer labels such as Prada, Eckhaus Latta, Loewe, and more, often sourced from cool vintage shops such as James Veloria in Manhattan, too. “I find really great unique pieces there,” Mondo says.
