The celebrity hair stylist, who is engaged to Lucas Gage, was presented with the award for hair artist of the year by Kardashian at Sunday’s Daily Front Row Fashion LA Awards
Kim Kardashian is Chris Appleton’s biggest cheerleader when it comes to her longtime hair stylist’s relationship with actor Lukas Gage.
Kardashian, 42, presented Appleton with the hair artist of the year award at Sunday’s Daily Front Row Fashion L.A. Awards at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and took the chance to joke about how happy — and relieved — she is that he’s in a relationship.
“Let me say one thing really quick,” the Skims founder said, returning to the microphone briefly after presenting the award to Appleton. “I’m so happy he’s in a relationship right now and that it’s out there, because I’m so tired of all my girl friends and guy friends asking me if you’re available, and who my hot guy is who is always with me.”
Appleton joked that he had “Kim’s approval” before making his acceptance speech and acknowledging his boyfriend, Gage, 27, in the audience, who he thanked for being “my rock.”
Prior to joking about his romance, Kardashian praised Appleton as “the best friend that builds you up,” and said the stylist “takes you out of your comfort zone and just makes you feel special.”
Kardashian’s daughter North West joined her on stage as she presented the award, and shared her own praise for the stylist — who often does her hair, too.
“There’s no word,” West, 9, said. “Chris Appleton’s the best.”
Appleton, 39, was chuffed by West’s praise as he said, “Honestly, that’s the nicest thing she ever said to me.”
He continued, “I’m very honored to be here and grateful. I’m just a small town boy who loves doing what I do… It’s just about making people look and feel good, making them smile and…getting rich!”
