Social media savvy celebrity hair stylist, hair care entrepreneur and new mom Jen Atkin has traded in her chic architectural home in L.A.’s central, culturally rich and historic Miracle Mile neighborhood for a plum pocket of the relatively unglorified and more far flung San Fernando Valley suburb of Tarzana — just 18 miles but typically a 45-minute drive out of Beverly Hills — where she and her husband, fashion photographer Mike Rosenthal, have splashed out almost $4.5 million for sprawling single-story spread of about 7,000 square feet.
The hair care mega-influencer, who no less than The New York Times once called “The Most Influential Hairstylist in the World,” and who can crow about her 3.8 million Instagram followers, cuts, plaits and presses the tresses of a loyal celeb clientele who include Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Chrissy Teigen, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Gigi and Bella Hadid. She is also the founder of the hair care product line OUAI, creator of a range of hair extensions and hair accessories, the author of the cheekily titled self-helpy memoir “Blowing My Way to the Top,” and the founder of the digital magazine ManeAddicts.com.
Built brand new in 2017, and set behind gates on about two-thirds of an acre at the head of a horseshoe driveway, the home incorporates a number of architectural genres, from a classic, low-slung California ranch house to a shingled and whitewashed East Coast traditional to the ubiquitously trendy “modern farmhouse” style that has proliferated across L.A. over the last handful of years.
