Answer: Kevin Shanley

It was at "Headlines" salon that owner and head hairdresser Kevin Shanley first gave Diana the "Lady Di" fringe.

Richard Dalton, who worked for Kevin at "Headlines" and then went off on his own, gave her the longer 1940s style she wore after Prince Harry was born in 84/85. Sam McKnight gave her the very short, very layered look she wore in the early 1990s. Natalie Symons gave her the smooth pushed back look she wore shortly before her death.
