Selected by Lynda Carter for her Jazz at Lincoln Center Performance
WASHINGTON, DC – Named one of the top seven hairstylists in the United States by Vogue Magazine, Neven Radovic has earned acclaim for his work with dozens of famous entertainers such as Molly Simms, Mandy Moore, Debra Messing, and Claire Danes. He is based out of the chic Ian McCabe Studio in Washington, D.C., where his masterful knowledge of hair texture and precision cutting techniques are in high demand. Actress and singer Lynda Carter (TV’s “Wonder Woman”) is a DC resident herself and one of Radovic’s frequent clients. With her reliance on his artistry, Carter has taken Radovic along on her musical tour to New York City where she performed at The Appel Room home of Jazz at Lincoln Center on November 19, with her all-star band singing pop, jazz, rock, country, and original songs in a dynamic concert evening.
Starting his career as a humble salon shampooer, Neven Radovic is a native of Croatia who has dedicated the past 20 years to perfecting the art of hairstyling. After attending cosmetology school, he became a rising star in the industry, conducting frequent stage presentations at hair shows. He took a chance and moved to the U.S. in 2008 where he quickly became the innovative go-to stylist for New York Fashion Week, Miami Fashion Week, and television shows like “The Real Housewives of DC”. With his growing acclaim, Radovic’s work has been featured in numerous publications including Allure, InStyle, Washingtonian, Capital File, and the cover of Metro Weekly.
Radovic calls moving from Croatia to the United States one of the biggest risks he ever took in life. “I had some luck because I was in the right place at the right time,” says Radovic, “but with luck I also had a dose of courage to face new challenges and the unknown. In those moments it is important that you believe in yourself and that you don’t give up.”
Devoted patrons rave about Radovic’s ability to create trendsetting styles that enhance their hair’s natural volume and shape. Whether a client’s hair is silky straight, thick and bouncy, or corkscrew curly, he can find a style that falls flawlessly and moves beautifully. With his position amid the Washington power brokers, it’s no surprise that so many consult with Neven Radovic for polished daytime looks that can transform effortlessly into glamorous nighttime styles.
Superstar stylist Neven Radovic’s cutting edge instincts extend to the causes that he cares about. He understandably feels a deep connection to his homeland, which is why he’s an ardent advocate for Croatian youth. In addition, Radovic supports marine wildlife conservation efforts and is devoted to Washington, DC-based community arts programs.
