Jacob Habib Khan is an Atlanta-based hairdresser and educator who teaches stylists how to get strong, modern results without turning the craft into a vocabulary contest. As the co-founder of Fancy Hairdressers, his lane is simple: take classic cut-and-color principles, strip out the ego and the over-naming, and hand you techniques you can use on Tuesday with paying clients.

His origin story reads like a mixtape: as a teenager in the punk scene, he became the “resident hairdresser” for friends who wanted bold hair without the budget—then turned that spark into real training (including Paul Mitchell The School Atlanta) and eventually his own salon. That blend of subculture energy and disciplined fundamentals shows up in how he teaches: approachable, entertaining, and built for the realities of the chair.

Stylists who work best with Jacob usually want clarity: stronger cutting mechanics, cleaner shapes, and a cut-and-color approach that feels effortless because it’s organized. He delivers through an online video library (with ongoing tutorials) and touring education/events across cities. If you’re ready to simplify your process without sanding off your style, Jacob’s your kind of teacher.
